They are also less susceptible to being nicked or damaged and therefore they do not have to be \"handled delicatley\" compared to fine thread (UNF) nuts.  Coarse nuts install much more quickly and are not not affected by plating buildup to the same extent as fine UNF threads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eUNF Thread:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUNF fine threaded bolts are stronger than UNC coarse threaded bolts of the same hardness.  This is due to the fine threaded bolts having a slightly larger tensile stress area.  Fine threads also have less tendency to loosen under vibration due to the fact that they have a smaller helix angle than coarse threads. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eMaterial Type:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUNF has the advantage of allowing for finer adjustments in applications that require this characteristic.  They can also be more easily tapped into difficult to tap materials and thin walled sections and they require less tightening torque to achieve equivalent preloads to the corresponding UNC nuts\/ bolts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #666666;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eView All:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/greasemonkeydirect.co.uk\/collections\/nuts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSTEEL NUTS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/greasemonkeydirect.co.uk\/collections\/lock-nuts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eLOCK NUTS\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/greasemonkeydirect.co.uk\/collections\/flanged-nuts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFLANGED NUTS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/greasemonkeydirect.co.uk\/collections\/hardware\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBOXES OF ASSORTED NUTS \u0026amp; HARDWARE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eBright Zinc Plated Protection:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese steel nuts are BZP plated.  They have been coated with a corrosion resistant  bright zinc plated finish for maximum protection.  They have a shiny silver\/ golden appearance which is commonly referred to as clear or yellow zinc respectively.  This technology is crucial in helping to prevent galvanic corrosion by insulating steel nuts from aluminium surfaces. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCorrosion Resistant Nuts:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGalvanic corrosion, often referred to as Bimetallic Corrosion, is an electrochemical process whereby a metal nut corrodes quickly when it is placed in electrical contact with another metal in the presence of an electrolyte.  In the British climate BZP is essential for outdoor work. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #999999;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBEST PRICES ONLINE - SHOP NOW!\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"best prices on all workshop supplies\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1359\/2999\/files\/fast_delivery_medium.png?v=1518025161\" style=\"float: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Grease Monkey","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44574631133474,"sku":"GT-NUT40","price":1.45,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1359\/2999\/products\/NUT1_ob68-vu.png?v=1571439543","url":"https:\/\/greasemonkeydirect.co.uk\/products\/steel-nuts-1-4-bzp-unc-50","provider":"Grease Monkey Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
