The Cleveloc nut is a low cost one-piece self-locking nut with superior locking and re-usability characteristics. The locking collar is an integral part of the nut and is formed into a geometrically developed ellipse. This provides two locking elements of consistently uniform shape and thread contour which permit the bolt threads to engage smoothly during assembly. The Horse Pipe Fitting Nuts are used for rigid metal and flexible hose pipes used in fuel and hydraulic lines. The internal critical dimensions are maintained to ensure reliable and leak proof joints. Castle and Slotted Nuts are used where there is vibration in application and possibility of loosening exists. They are locked by the use of a cotter pin in a pre-determined hole in the mating bolt.
