Our Stainless Steel Carriage Cap Nuts

Our Revolutionary Stainless Steel Carriage Cap Nuts (Patent Pending) are Non-Rotational, Low-Profile Cap Nuts. This allows you to use different lengths of Full Thread Studs in place of expensive-headed fasteners. Also allows for the easy use of different alloys (316 SS, etc.) when needed. No Longer will you have to wait for the special bolts to be made or suffer sticker shock from the expense. Available individually or in our Contractor Packs, this is the way to go if you are using the Full Thread Studs for construction.

Once installed, the low-profile cap nut provides a clean, flush appearance while also safeguarding boats, docks, and other structures from damage. The smooth finish reduces snags and creates a professional look that blends seamlessly with marine and outdoor construction projects.

Carriage cap nuts are especially valuable in applications where both safety and aesthetics are important, such as marinas, fencing, and public boardwalks. Available in 304 and 316 stainless steel, they provide long-term performance even in harsh saltwater conditions.
