Hex Cap Nuts are six sided hexagon blind nuts, used for covering the threaded end. Hex cap nuts are used for enclosing the threaded end of the bolt or screw thus improving the aesthetics of the bolting joint. Hex cap nuts can be used with all kinds of bolts. Hexagon cap nuts, blind nuts, hex blind nuts are other alias of hex cap nuts. Hex cap nut dimensions are defined in both metric and imperials sizes with unified national coarse pitch (UNC), fine pitch (UNF), fixed pitch (UN) and iso metric thread profile. These are produced across all material categories and astm specifications.
