Slotted Nuts

Slotted nuts are hexagonal nuts with slots or castellations protruding from one end. Like castle nuts, slotted hex nuts are used with cotter pins or split pins, which secure the nuts in place while preventing them from loosening. Slotted nuts are typically shorter than castle nuts and closer in size to standard hex nuts, making them preferable for common applications. Automobile industries use them to ensure machine components do not separate. Priority Products offers slotted hex nuts with diameters ranging from 5/16” to 1 3/4”, with various threading sizes available.
