Cap Nuts

Conceal and protect protruding screw threads while fastening parts together. These nuts help prevent damage to surrounding materials and reduce injuries. Also known as acorn nuts, they have a smooth, rounded head that creates a finished look.

Stainless Steel

18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these nuts resist rust. However, they won't hold up to the harsh chemicals that 316 stainless steel can.

Sanitary Cap Nuts

With extremely smooth sides and rounded edges, these nuts are free of crevices where bacteria can grow. Use them to cover and protect exposed threads while fastening parts together. Nuts are certified by EHEDG to meet sanitary design standards. They have a Buna-N seal on the base that keeps liquid, debris, and other contaminants off the threads. The seal is 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. Also known as acorn nuts, these have a domed head to create a finished look.
