About Square Nuts

A square nut has four sides and a larger bearing face than a hex nut of the same size. Its flat sides stop it from turning in slots and channels. The common standards are DIN 557 and DIN 562 (thin type).

Applications

  • Channels, slots and steel sections
  • Electrical panels and cable trays
  • Timber and furniture
  • Agricultural equipment

Square Nut FAQs

Why choose a square nut over a hex nut?

A square nut does not spin in a slot or channel, and its bigger contact area grips better on soft materials.

What is the difference between DIN 557 and DIN 562 square nuts?

DIN 557 is the regular square nut, with a height of about 0.8 times the thread size. DIN 562 is a thin square nut for slots and tight spaces where the load is light.

Which washer goes with a square nut on timber?

Use a square washer under the nut. Its large square seat spreads the load and stops the nut from sinking into the wood.
