Applications and selection
Assemblies designed around slotted-nut retention.
Specify slot dimensions, nut height and the mating retaining arrangement. Thread alignment and pin fit need to be checked as a complete assembly.
Materials, surface finishes and standards
Materials for this series: Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel. Surface finishes: Plain, Zinc Plated, Nickel. Compatibility between the grade, finish and operating environment needs to be confirmed.
For titanium, nickel alloy or other non-ferrous requirements, include the exact material grade and drawing. Required mechanical properties, inspection documents and traceability should be stated in the inquiry.
This U.S. nut standard includes dimensional provisions and slot-gaging information for slotted nuts. Confirm pin and slot geometry. Standards from different systems can vary in dimensions, threads, product scope and test requirements. Confirm the exact designation and edition in the quotation.
Ordering standard

Does a slotted nut include the retaining pin?
The pin is a separate item unless it is explicitly included in the quotation. State its dimensions and material if it is required.
Can I request a size or material outside this listing?
Yes. Send the required dimensions and exact material grade for review. A quotation is needed to confirm feasibility, price and lead time.
