A chase nipple is a short pipe fitting, which creates a path for wires between two electrical boxes. A chase nipple has male threads on one end only. The other end is a hexagon. The chase nipple passes through the knockouts of two boxes, and is secured by an internally threaded ring called a lock nut. [1] [2]
A coupling nut A coupling nut and its orthographic view. A coupling nut, also known as extension nut, is a threaded fastener for joining two male threads, most commonly a threaded rod, [1] [2] but also pipes. [3] The outside of the fastener is usually hexagonal so a wrench can hold it.
Serrated flange nuts. A flange nut is a nut that has a wide flange at one end that acts as an integrated washer.This serves to distribute the pressure of the nut over the part being secured, reducing the chance of damage to the part and making it less likely to loosen as a result of an uneven fastening surface.
Manufacturers such as Victaulic and Grinnell produce sleeve-clamp fittings, which replace many flange connections. They attach to the end of a pipe segment via circumferential grooves pressed (or cut) around the end of the pipe to be joined. They are widely used on larger steel pipes and can also be used with other materials.
Acorn nut (cap nut) Crown hex nut, blind nut, cap nut, domed cap nut, or dome nut A nut that has a domed end on one side Barrel nut: Steel cross dowel or dowel nut, cross dowel (woodworking) A round slug or formed sheet metal part with threads perpendicular to the length of the nut Cage nut: Caged nut, captive nut, clip nut
Holes are drilled in nuts and bolt heads, and wire is threaded through the holes to prevent back-rotation. This method of locking is labor intensive, but is still used on critical joints. [1] Locknuts Some portion of the nut deforms elastically during tightening to provide a locking action. Spring washers and lock washers
The hexagon nut required a spanner to achieve sufficient pressure to obtain a gas tight seal. The notched hexagon nut denotes it is a left-hand thread. Following international convention, the standard changed to allow the use of an integrated hand wheel, with leak tightness being provided by an o-ring or rubber bull nose.
A split beam nut, also known as a split hex nut [1] or slotted beam nut, [2] is a locknut with slots cut in the top that separate the outside end into two [3] or more sections that are bent slightly inward, making the thread diameter undersized in the slotted portion.
