Product buying notes

A563 DH heavy hex nuts: the nut for structural bolt assemblies

ASTM A563 Grade DH is the heat-treated heavy hex nut used with ASTM F3125 A325 and A490 structural bolts. DH3 is the weathering-steel version for Type 3 bolts.

Verified reference or buying parameterMeaning for this inquiry
Material standardASTM A563 Grade DH (carbon steel, quenched and tempered); DH3 for weathering steel
DimensionsASME B18.2.2 heavy hex, 1/8 in wider across flats than finished hex nuts
Used withF3125 A325 and A490 bolts, with F436 hardened washers
AlternativeASTM A194 Grade 2H heavy hex nuts are commonly accepted in place of A563 DH
Galvanized nutsTapped oversize and lubricated, and supplied together with the galvanized bolts

Selection and assembly checks

State thread size, grade (DH or DH3), finish and the bolt grade the nuts will run on. For galvanized assemblies, order bolts, nuts and washers together so the oversize tapping and lubrication match.

Material, finish and documents

A563 DH nuts are supplied plain, hot-dip galvanized or mechanically galvanized, and lubricated when galvanized. Mill test certificates (EN 10204 3.1) and inspection records are agreed in the quotation.

Which nut should I use with A325 structural bolts?

ASTM A563 Grade DH heavy hex nuts are the usual choice, and A194 2H nuts are commonly accepted as an alternative. Galvanized A325 bolts need galvanized DH nuts tapped oversize.

Why are galvanized DH nuts lubricated?

Galvanized threads have high friction. Lubricating the nut lets the assembly reach the required pretension without galling, so galvanized DH nuts are supplied lubricated.

Can I order DH nuts without bolts?

Yes. DH nuts can be ordered on their own or with bolts and F436 washers as matched assemblies. The MOQ is 500 pcs per specification.
