A flange nut is a specialized type of nut that features a wide circular flange at one end. This flange is designed to provide additional support and stability when fastening components together. The flange nut is typically used in applications where there is a need for increased resistance to loosening due to vibrations or movement. The flange nut is made from various materials such as steel, stainless steel, or brass, depending on the specific requirements of the application. It is available in different sizes and thread types to accommodate various bolt sizes. The flange nut is installed by threading it onto a bolt or threaded rod and then tightening it using a wrench or other suitable tool. The flange provides a larger surface area, which helps distribute the load more evenly and reduces the risk of the nut coming loose over time.
