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 represents the threads per inch.
When a 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 (2 inches long in this example).
The guides and ruler furnished below are designed to help you select the appropriate hardware and tools.
