A flange nut is a type of nut that has a wide flange at one end, which acts as an integrated washer. This flange helps to distribute the load of the nut over a larger surface area, reducing the risk of damage to the surface being fastened and preventing loosening due to vibrations. Flange nuts are commonly used in automotive, machinery, and structural applications.
Flange nuts are selected for their reliability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand dynamic forces.
