The DIN 1587 Cap Nut (also known as an Acorn Nut or Dome Nut) from Pyramid Hardware is the perfect blend of aesthetic appeal and functional protection. These fasteners feature a high, closed-end dome that completely encloses the protruding end of a bolt or threaded rod. This serves two critical purposes: it protects the user from sharp thread ends (improving safety in public or household environments) and it shields the bolt threads from moisture, dust, and debris. Manufactured in Egypt using high-precision forging and polishing techniques, our Cap Nuts are widely used in architectural installations, playground equipment, and high-end machinery where a clean, finished appearance is required.

Key Features

Polished Safety Dome:

  • The smooth, rounded top eliminates snagging hazards and prevents injury from exposed bolt threads in high-traffic areas.

Atmospheric Seal:

  • The closed-end design prevents water and corrosive agents from entering the thread engagement zone, significantly reducing the risk of rust.

High-End Finish:

  • Our nuts undergo a multi-stage finishing process to ensure a bright, mirror-like appearance that complements chrome or stainless steel hardware.

Dimensional Accuracy:

  • Manufactured to strict DIN 1587 tolerances, ensuring a perfect fit and consistent dome height across large production batches.

Vibration Stability:

  • When tightened against a flat surface, the cap nut provides a secure, vibration-resistant joint suitable for moving parts.
