Does a hex nut need to be only hand-tightened on a conformant screw or more securely tightened?
Bumwomma
well most hex nuts a designed to fit a wrench size. depending on the application a cetain torque may be reguired...however usually hand tight plus 1/2 turns is fair
ANS 2 -It depends on what that nut is securing. In general usage, ( Not auto or aircraft) I go as hard as I can with a 6" wrench.
