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.

Nylon 6/6—Slippery and abrasion resistant, these nuts thread on smoothly and stand up to daily wear and tear. Nylon will swell and weaken when exposed to moisture, so it's best for dry environments.

Nylon-Insert Cap Nuts

Get the protection of a cap nut with the vibration resistance of a locknut. These nuts not only conceal protruding screw threads, they also have a nylon insert that grips the screw to prevent loosening from moderate vibration. However, the insert may become brittle if exposed to high temperatures. Nuts are reusable a handful of times, but their holding power decreases with each use.

Low-Strength Steel

Rated Grade 2, Class 6, or lower, these nuts are about half as strong as medium-strength steel nuts. Use them with screws that have a similar strength rating to avoid stripping threads during installation.

Zinc-Plated Steel—A step up from plain steel, the zinc plating withstands occasional exposure to moisture.

Steel—Best for dry environments since moisture will cause these nuts to rust.

Nylon 6/6 Cap—The nylon cap on these nuts is softer than metal, so it's less likely to scratch surrounding surfaces or parts.

Medium-Strength Steel

About twice as strong as low-strength steel, these Grade 5 nuts fasten most machinery and equipment. To avoid stripped threads during installation, make sure your screw has a comparable strength rating.

Zinc-Plated Steel—A step up from plain steel, the zinc plating withstands occasional exposure to moisture.

Nylon 6/6 Cap—The nylon cap on these nuts is softer than metal, so it's less likely to scratch surrounding surfaces or parts.
