bolts/nuts
(OP)
Is there any asme code that specifies which way the nut has to be on a bolt, is there such thing as a backword/upside down nut? I know the material/grade should be showing when checking a bolt up connection. I'm just wondering if 1 nut out of 45 is backword (not showing 2H) is this good reason to reject bolt up?

It is just a 'workmanlike appearance' item, like facing all the bolts the same way and using all the same length bolts in any given connection. And nobody can see it from the ground, nor after the painters roll on the usual 10-30 mils of goopy touch-up paint. IOW, these items only get rejected if the Inspector is 'green' or is having a bad day; or most likely is upset about the lackadaisical attitude and inattention-to-workmanship items of the bolt-up crew(s).
