Wrench & Fastener Size Guide

Standard Hardware Sizing

When a washer or nut is identified as 

1/2”

, this is the

Nominal size

, meaning the 

inside diameter

is 1/2 inch; if a

second number is present it represent the 

threads per inch

When bolt or capscrew is identified as 

1/2 - 16 x 2”

, this

means the 

Nominal size

, or 

body diameter

is 1/2 inch; the

second number represents the 

threads per inch

(16 in this

example, and the final number is the 

body length 

of the

bolt or screw (in this example 2 inches long).

The guides and ruler furnished below are designed to
help you select the appropriate hardware and tools.
