About this product

ASTM A563M Heavy Hex Nut explained

ASTM A563 is the structural nut standard that pairs with F3125 (A325 / A490) and F1554 bolts, and we stock it in Umm Al Quwain from M10 to M72 and ½" to 3" in Grades A, DH and Class 10S, black and hot-dip galvanized with lubricant, as loose nuts or as part of matched bolt assemblies.

ASTM A563 (metric A563M) covers carbon and alloy steel nuts in several grades matched to bolt strength: Grade A (with A307 and F1554 Gr 36 bolts), Grade C / 8S (Gr 55), Grade DH / 10S (A325, A490 and F1554 Gr 105) and DH3 for weathering steel. Heavy hex nuts have a larger width across flats than finished hex nuts, giving more bearing area and thread engagement for structural and anchor bolts.

Applications

  • Structural bolt assemblies with A325M / A490M
  • Anchor bolt sets with F1554 Gr 36 / 55 / 105
  • Bridge, tower and pipe rack connections
  • PEB and warehouse steel frames
  • Equipment base plates and foundations
  • Galvanized assemblies for external structures

Standards, grades & finishes

Nuts to ASTM A563 / A563M, heavy hex dimensions to ASME B18.2.2 / B18.2.4.6M, threads UNC Class 2B or metric 6H. Grades A, C, DH, DH3 and Classes 5, 8S, 10S. Galvanized nuts tapped oversize and lubricated (wax / dye) per ASTM A563 Supplementary S1. Proof load and hardness certified per lot; rotational capacity tests on assemblies on request.

This item is imported from approved mills and held in stock in our Umm Al Quwain warehouse alongside the anchor bolts, studs and plate washers we manufacture ourselves, so complete bolt sets ship from one source. Tensile, hardness and chemical testing is carried out by independent UAE-accredited laboratories, and EN 10204 3.1 certificates are issued with every batch. We supply across the GCC, MENA and Africa.

Frequently asked

ASTM A563M Heavy Hex Nut — FAQ

Which A563 grade for A325 bolts?

Grade DH (10S metric) is the standard; Grade C (8S) is also permitted for A325 Type 1. A490 requires DH / 10S.

Why are galvanized A563 nuts waxed?

The lubricant (usually a coloured wax) lowers and stabilises friction so the assembly reaches pretension without over-torquing — required by ASTM F3125.

Can I use A563 DH nuts on F1554 anchor bolts?

Yes — Grade A for Gr 36, DH for Gr 55 and 105, or as specified on the foundation drawing.
