Why should you use BS 1083 - Precision hexagon bolts, screws and nuts?

Hexagon bolts, screws and nuts are used worldwide and have been one of the most useful products that played a major role in industrial applications. The main reason bolts, screws and nuts are hexagonal is because it makes them easy to turn, hexagon has also become a universally accepted standard.

BS 1083 provides you with dimensions and tolerances for hexagonal bolts, screws and nuts including hexagon head bolts and screws, hexagon ordinary nuts and locknuts, hexagon slotted nuts and castle nuts, hexagon slotted nuts and castle nuts. As a manufacturer, you need to adhere to these specifications to design and manufacture effective and long working life hexagonal fasteners.

BS 1083 helps users to get acknowledged with the designation and certification process for hexagonal fasteners and attachments. Following the specifications provided in BS 1083, lets you manufacture and supply high-quality, durable precision hexagon fasteners such as bolts, screws and nuts with minimum manufacturing defects to you customers.
