Back Nuts

Back NutsWe are one of the leading manufacturers and exporters of Brass Back Nuts from India. We have been supplying premium-quality Back Nuts to the world market for many decades. Brass Back Nuts are essential components used in plumbing and pipe fitting applications, particularly for securing taps, valves, and other fixtures to sinks and panels. These internally threaded hexagonal nuts offer superior strength, corrosion resistance, and machinability, making them ideal for both domestic and industrial usage.

Our Back Nuts are widely appreciated for their dimensional accuracy, consistent performance, and long-lasting durability. We offer customization in sizes, threads, material grades, and finishes to meet specific requirements. With a global customer base across the USA, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, we understand and comply with international standards like BS 864, IS 319, ASTM B16, and DIN 8076. These Back Nuts are available in both standard and custom-made designs for OEM applications.
