Nylon Cap, Jam, Flange & Hex Nuts

 (7 product groups)

Introducing our comprehensive range of nylon nuts available at Essentra Components US. Our nylon nuts are an essential component in many applications and industries, providing exceptional performance and reliability.

Our range of nylon nuts includes cap nuts, hex nuts, wing nuts, flange nuts, jam nuts and kwik nuts, offering a variety of benefits that make them ideal for different applications. Our nylon nuts are made from high-quality materials that are corrosion-resistant, making them ideal for a wide range of applications, including marine, automotive, construction, and electronics. They are also highly durable, providing reliable and long-lasting performance in any environment.

Our cap nuts are used to cover exposed threads and create a more finished appearance, while our flange nuts can help to distribute pressure across a wider surface area, reducing the risk of damage. Our wing nuts are designed for easy and quick installation and are commonly used in applications where frequent adjustments are required. Our jam nuts are used to secure a threaded rod, while our kwik nuts provide fast and easy installation without tools.

Cap Nuts

In stock In production

Cap Nuts, also known as a Blind Nut or a Crown Nut, is a nut that has a domed end on one side. The Domed Cap Nut is used to cover exposed threaded stud, rod and bolt ends with a dome-like cap. This offers protection and safety to the fastening assembly, while also creating a finished appearance to the exposed threaded end.

Our range is made up from Hex Cap Dome Nuts that feature a hexagonal nut shape with the dome or cap that encloses external threads. They are offered with or without a molded-in locking thread for applications which require torque for a more secure assembly.

  • Material: Nylon 6/6
  • Colors: Natural and Black
  • Flame resistance rating UL94 V2.

Jam Nuts

In stock In production

Jam Nuts, also know as Thin Hex Nuts, are a low-profile type of nut. Typically they are half as tall as a standard nut. It is commonly used as a type of locknut, where it is 'jammed' up against a standard nut to lock the two in place or where a standard nut will not fit. These light-weight nylon versions offer a vibration-, chemical- and corrosion-resistant option to metal variants.

Nylon Flange Nuts

In stock In production

Flange Nuts feature a wide flange at one end, offering a combined washer function. This design provides even distribution of the nut over the component being secured. Thus reducing the risk of damage, with less likelihood of loosening caused by an uneven surface.

Our plastic flange nut offer is made of natural Nylon 6/6, with a UL94 V2 flame resistance. We have a choice of styles including imperial and metric Hex Flange Nuts, and Self-Threading Lock Nuts. These lock nuts are designed for use with steel bolts. Threads are created when assembled to ensure a secure fit.

  • Flange head nuts are ideal for applications with vibration and movement
  • Resistant to corrosion, oil, abrasion and most chemicals.

Nylon Grommet Nuts

In stock In production

Grommet Nuts provide a low cost positive connection to thin gage materials, like sheet metal as well PCB applications, as an alternative to using a standard nut. Our range is made from Nylon 6/6. Also known as a Nylon Screw Grommet; our range has a UL94 V-2 flame resistance rating and is natural in appearance.

Our grommet nut offer features Closed Grommet Nuts, and Square Head Grommet Nuts, which are suitable for round or square holes. The Nylon Grommet insulates areas of assembly from electrical and thermal transfer. Nylon Grommet Nuts provide corrosion and vibration resistance and mount with a self-tapping screw. A nylon grommet eliminates the need for a nut and they are great for blind mounting.

Nylon Hex Nuts

In stock In production

The hexagonal shape with its six flat sides provides an easy way to tighten and loosen this Nylon Hex Nut when using a standard wrench, as they are designed to either SAE imperial or metric sizes. Nylon Hex Nuts are non-conductive and offer corrosion resistance and a lasting hold.

Plastic Thumb Nuts

In stock In production

Thumb Nuts are a type of nut with a knurled outside diameter (surface). This design facilitates manual tightening by hand, and also secures the nut into a handle or cover. They are typically used in applications where the fasteners will be removed regularly.

Made from Natural Nylon 6/6, a strong, tough and durable material that is ideal for connecting elements and other technical components. It has self-lubricating properties, and is resistant to moisture, vapor and salt water. Our Plastic Thumb Nut range features slotted and non slotted options.

  • Quick and easy
  • Tool-free installation and removal
  • Flame resistance rating is UL94 V2.

Plastic Wing Nuts

In stock In production

Wing Nuts, commonly known as Butterfly Nuts or a Wingnut, are a type of nut that similarly to Fly Nuts, have two thumb tabs (or wings) on either side of the nuts body. This allows the wing nut to be fastened or removed by hand, with no need for tools. The wings provide additional grip, which makes this process quick and easy.

Our Plastic Wing Nut range features wingnuts that are suitable for imperial and metric threads, including a molded-in locking thread option suitable for applications in need of a higher torque or a more secure assembly.

Material available include; Natural Nylon 6/6 with a flame resistance rating of UL94 V2 and Transparent (Clear) Copolyester that can be used with transparent Polycarbonate (PC) screws.
