Hex Jam

Our mission is to become Africa’s leading engineering company a place where talented people want to work and clients want to buy from.
How we deliver:

Hex jam nuts are thinner than standard hex nuts, but they maintain the same dimensions across the flats and corners. These nuts are commonly used for two main purposes:

  1. Locking Application – A hex jam nut is threaded onto a bolt and tightened against a standard hex nut. This action locks the primary nut in place and helps prevent it from loosening or backing off.

  2. Leveling Application – Hex jam nuts are also widely used for leveling and adjustment purposes in various mechanical and structural applications.
