KEPS NUT
KEPS NUT (K-NUT)
📌 Overview
The Stainless Steel Keps Nut, commonly called a K-Nut, is a hex nut combined with an attached free-spinning washer. This design provides secure fastening and prevents loosening without the need for a separate washer, saving assembly time. The attached washer can be toothed, lock, or flat, enhancing grip and torque distribution.
Manufactured from SS304 (A2) and SS316 (A4) stainless steel, Keps nuts offer excellent corrosion resistance, mechanical strength, and durability, making them suitable for industrial machinery, automotive, electrical, and general fastening applications.
