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).
