A Flange Nut is a special type of nut that’s characterized by a flanged design. The term “flanged” refers to a protruding rim. All flange nuts have a protruding rim on one side. One side looks like a traditional nut, whereas the other side has a protruding rim.
The protruding rim on flange nuts essentially acts as a built-in washer. Washers are fasteners as well and like nuts, they are typically used in conjunction with bolts. Rather than using a traditional nut with a separate washer, though you can use a flange nut. Flange nuts have a protruding rim that serves the same purpose as a washer.
How Flange Nuts Work:
Flange nuts are often used in fastening applications involving oversized holes. They have a protruding rim that covers more surface area. Even if the hole is too big for a traditional nut, it may support the use of a flanged nut. At the same time, the flanged nut will distribute the load more evenly.
To join multiple objects together with a bolt and nut, you’ll have to drill a hole through the objects. With that said, some objects may have an oversized hole. In other words, the hole may be too large to accommodate a traditional nut. Twisting a nut over the end of the bolt may cause it to slip into the oversized hole. In cases such as this, a flange nut may offer a solution.
