The 304 stainless steel male-female threaded nut is a versatile fastening component featuring both external (male) and internal (female) threads in a single unified body. This design enables direct connection between two threaded elements — functioning as a coupling stud with a socket on the opposite end. Constructed from AISI 304 stainless steel, it delivers excellent corrosion resistance, non-magnetic properties, and a clean aesthetic finish suitable for food-grade, medical, and marine environments. Custom configurations include independent male and female thread sizes (metric or imperial), adjustable overall length, thread engagement depth, hex or round body profiles, knurled grip options, and specialized surface treatments — all engineered to your exact assembly requirements.
These components are commonly used as standoffs, coupling nuts, or thread adapters. They allow two different thread sizes to be joined, or provide a convenient way to mount components with a threaded stud on one side and a socket for a bolt on the other. Applications include sensor mounting, PCB standoffs, pneumatic fittings, and mechanical linkages.
Yes — the male and female threads are independently configurable. This allows you to connect components with mismatched thread sizes, such as a M6 male thread with a M10 female thread, or metric to imperial combinations. This feature is particularly valuable for adapting between different equipment standards.
Customization options include: independent male and female thread sizes, thread engagement depth, overall length, body shape (hex, round, knurled, flanged), surface finish (bright, passivated, electropolished), special markings, locking features (nylon patch), and non-standard thread pitches or profiles.
Yes — 304 stainless steel is widely used in food processing, dairy, and beverage industries due to its excellent corrosion resistance and cleanability. For applications requiring additional corrosion resistance in highly acidic or chloride-rich environments, we can supply 316 stainless steel or specialized surface treatments upon request.
