    Cap Nuts
    3D CAD models available

    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.
    Corrosion-Resistant Stainless Steel
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Cap Nuts. Cap Nuts.
    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.
    Black-Oxide 18-8 Stainless Steel—Typically chosen for their appearance, these nuts have a dark, matte coating. They resist rust in wet and outdoor environments but won't hold up to the harsh chemicals that 316 stainless steel can.
    Super-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
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Cap Nuts. Cap Nuts.
    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.
    Black Corrosion-Resistant-Coated Steel—Combines a finished appearance with the rust resistance of stainless steel. The coating has been tested to extreme standards, including 1,000 hours of salt spray resistance, to hold up in wet and outdoor environments. Also known as black luster.
    Nickel-Plated Steel—This plating resists salt water and chemicals better than zinc plating and is less likely to wear off. It also has a bright, polished appearance.
    Chrome-Plated Steel—The brightest, shiniest finish we offer, this plating has a mirror-like appearance that is often used in decorative applications. It resists salt water and chemicals better than zinc plating and is less likely to wear off.

    With a range of sizes on hand, you can use these assortments to conceal and protect protruding screw threads while fastening a variety of parts. Also known as acorn nuts, they have a smooth, rounded head that creates a finished look.
    Nickel-Plated Steel—This plating resists salt water and chemicals better than zinc plating and is less likely to wear off. It also has a bright, polished appearance.
    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.

    Nylon-Insert Cap Nuts
    3D CAD models available

    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
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Cap Nuts. Nylon-Insert Cap Nuts.
    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.

They have a nylon patch bonded to their threads that grips screws for a tighter hold than standard cap nuts. They’re reusable a handful of times, but the patch’s holding power decreases with each use. Also known as acorn nuts, they have a smooth, rounded head that creates a finished look.

    Distorted-Thread Cap Nuts
    3D CAD models available

    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.

    Sealing Cap Nuts
    3D CAD models available

    Keep liquid, gas, debris, and other contaminants from seeping into or out of machinery, with no need for a separate O-ring. These nuts are often used outdoors to protect enclosures and other equipment from harsh weather. They also withstand high pressure, so they are useful for sealing pneumatic pumps and pressure valves. Also known as acorn nuts, they conceal protruding screw threads while fastening parts together and have a smooth, rounded head for a finished look.

    High-Profile Cap Nuts
    3D CAD models available

    Three times the thread depth of standard cap nuts, these cover and protect extra-long, protruding screws, so you don't have to cut them when fastening parts together. They 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.

    Sanitary Cap Nuts
    3D CAD models available

    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 silicone 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.

    Open-End Cap Nuts
    3D CAD models available

    The open top allows threads to stick out slightly, so you don't have to worry about picking the wrong thread depth. These nuts also engage more threads than standard nuts for a tighter hold. The smooth, curved head creates a finished look, while still partially concealing and protecting the sides of the screw from damage.
