Sanitary Low-Profile Cap Nuts
Certified by EHEDG (European Hygienic Engineering and Design Group) to meet sanitary design standards, these cap nuts fit into tight spaces to cover and seal exposed threads in your food processing facility. Also known as acorn nuts, they’re at least 20% shorter than standard cap nuts. Made from 316 stainless steel, these nuts won’t corrode from frequent washdowns with water or harsh cleaners. They are self-draining, meaning that they don’t have horizontal surfaces, so liquids and debris will drain off completely. They also have extremely smooth sides and rounded edges to eliminate crevices where bacteria could grow.
The silicone seal at the base of the nut keeps contaminants off the threads and prevents an unsanitary metal-to-metal connection. It’s made with metal and chemical additives, so you can find it with a metal detector or X-ray machine if it falls into your line. This helps you comply with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) programs to keep contaminated food from leaving your facility. The seal is also FDA compliant, so it’s safe for direct contact with food.

Nylon-Insert Cap Locknuts
The nylon cap covers and grips the threads to resist loosening. They’re reusable, but their holding power lessens with each use. Nuts are steel with a nylon 6/6 cap and insert.
Zinc-plated nuts have a layer of zinc that protects the steel from rust in wet environments.
