ASME B 18.2.2 - 2015
Hex Coupling Nuts
ASTM A563
①,Nuts shall be furnished without a hole, unless specially ordered by the purchaser. In some applications it may be desirable to assure that the threaded parts joined by a coupling nut are each engaged to approximately one-half nut thickness. As a visual inspection aid, a hole drilled through one side of the nut is recommended. The hole should be located at mid-nut thickness, and have a diameter of 0.2 to 0.4 times nominal nut size for sizes 2½ in and smaller, and 1 in for sizes 2¾ in and larger. |
