conical nut Explanation: This seems to be the simplest solution based on your description. You could also say "cap". Conical nuts don't have to be perfectly conical: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&tbm=isch&sxsrf=ALeKk00L2d... |

Chinese hat (panel support) washer with captive nut Explanation: The first (Spanish) reference describes them as being a nut cover with integrated washer and nut that is used to prevent thermal bridging in refrigerated installations. https://www.infraca.com/producto/chinos-cubre-tuercas-infrac... The second (Spanish) reference shows a crossection and shows how it fits http://www.asbsl.com/00107_accesorios_camaras_frigorificas.h... The last reference (English) describes it as a Chinese hat panel support washer with a captive nut. https://www.absolutecoldroom.co.uk/products/chinese-hat-pane... They look to be used in conjunction with fixing bolts that pass through insulated wall panels eg Kingspan. As well as preventing thermal bridging, the design spreads the forces across a larger area than a nut or small washer (and won't squash the panel), and it's form makes it easy to clean (more hygenic). (You would normally see a nut/washer combination described as a nut with integrated washer, but in this case, I think as the 'hat' covers everything and effectively is the washer, I think the way they describe it as washer with integrated nut makes more sense.) |
