Buyer Questions

Frequently asked questions

Can the bolt protrude through a cap nut?

No — the cap nut has a closed dome. The bolt length must be selected so the thread does not bottom out inside the nut. If the bolt is too long, it will hit the inside of the dome before the nut is fully tightened.
