For a stronger hold than nylon-insert cap nuts, these have irregularly shaped threads that grip the screw to resist loosening. The threads prevent the nut from backing out in high-vibration applications, but they also increase the effort to install and remove. To get these nuts off, you may need special tools, such as an impact wrench or propane torch. They have a smooth, rounded head that conceals and protects protruding screw threads while creating a finished look. Nuts are not reusable.
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.
