MS Nuts measured in "Lines" (or Suts) are the regional standard for general-purpose fastening in traditional fabrication and hardware sectors across Nepal. One "Line" or "Sut" is equivalent to 1/8th of an inch, meaning the range from 1 Line to 6 Lines spans diameters from 1/8" to 3/4". These nuts are manufactured from low-carbon mild steel, offering high ductility and excellent weldability. The structural logic of these units is optimized for light-to-medium duty applications such as iron gates, window grills, agricultural implements, and local timber-to-steel assemblies. Unlike the metric M-series, these nuts are specifically matched with BSW (British Standard Whitworth) or traditional inch-series threaded bolts, ensuring a secure mechanical lock for localized fabrication projects
