Cap Nut

Product Code: MD-CVT-0020

The closed end of a DIN 1587 cap nut shields the exposed bolt end. Stainless or galvanised versions can provide corrosion resistance when selected for the service environment. ## Construction The internally threaded body is open at one end and closed by a dome at the other. It improves safety, cleanliness and appearance on exposed fasteners. ## Installation 1. Confirm that bolt projection is shorter than the internal cap depth. 2. Start the nut by hand. 3. Tighten with the correct wrench. 4. Ensure that the bolt tip does not bottom out before the nut seats. ## Applications - Automotive body, chassis, exhaust and suspension joints - Electrical and electronic equipment - Furniture and decorative assemblies - Sheet, profile, channel and railing systems - Steel structures, bridges and general construction
