DH Nuts for A394 Tower Bolts
DH Nuts for A394 Tower Bolts
(OP)
Has anyone purchased/specified Grade DH ASTM A563 Nuts in regular hex? (Not heavy hex)
I want to use them with an A394 Tower bolt so the nut is same size as the bolt head.

I agree with your comment on grade requirements (bolts for shear transfer only) and my customer now does as well so we will be supplying the standard grade A nuts.

Sometimes customers have unrealistic desires. I work with telecom companies that put antennas on our towers and poles and I have to analyze the structure with the extra wind loading. Now, the telecom guys are used to throwing money at a problem to get what they want. Sometimes we replace a structure with a steel pole strong enough and tall enough to handle the antennas. The problem is the lead time on a steel pole is up to 20 weeks and the telecom folks want it much sooner. I jokingly tell them all they have to do is come up with a few Billion Dollars and buy the pole fabricator, put their pole at the head of the line, produce the pole, and then sell the pole company. They usually don't see my humor.
