    Cap Nuts

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Cap Nuts. 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.
    Highly-Corrosion-Resistant 316 Stainless Steel—Our most corrosion-resistant cap nuts, these hold up in just about any environment. They won't degrade from exposure to weather, salt water, and most chemicals.

    Low-Strength Steel
    Rated Grade 2, Class 6, or lower, these nuts are about half as strong as medium-strength steel nuts. They are suitable for light duty fastening applications, such as securing access panels. 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.

    Brass
    Brass—Conductive and nonmagnetic, brass nuts are commonly used to secure electrical equipment, such as circuit board assemblies and mounting brackets, inside enclosures. They're also softer than most metals, so they won't damage other fastening components.
    Nickel-Plated Brass—In addition to creating a polished appearance, the nickel plating offers better corrosion resistance than plain brass to stand up to solvents and mild chemicals.
