Sloped sides make these nuts difficult to grasp with standard hand tools to reduce the risk of unwanted removal. To install, thread a second sloped nut onto the bolt upside down and insert a wrench between the two nuts to fasten. They're often used to secure signs, lighting fixtures, and displays in public spaces. A zinc yellow-chromate plating provides corrosion resistance in wet environments.
