The closed end of the nut prevents contaminants from entering the threaded hole, providing a clean and secure fastening point.
The shank of the nut has an annular recess where the sheet metal material flows during installation, locking the nut in place.
The head of the nut provides a larger bearing surface to distribute the load and prevent the nut from pulling through the material.
Available in various thread sizes and lengths to accommodate different fastening requirements.
