The inside diameter is about 3/8 in. The Hex nut fits on a standard Threaded Lamp Pipe (Threaded 1/8-IP). I am also trying to find what the thread size is so I can use thicker nuts. I build Industrial and Steampunk Lamps and use a lot of this product. **Q: What is the thickness of the nut? Looking for thinner than 2.5mm (0.1 inch)** A: I measured five (5) and found the thickness to range from 0.120" - 0.124". ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by T***D on 22 September 2025* These nuts work great for 3/8" diameter (actual) fine-thread lamp pipe.
