Jet nut
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A jet nut,[1] also known as a K-nut,[1][2][3] is a special type of hex locknut that is commonly used in the aerospace and automotive racing industries.[3] It has a flange on one end of the nut, the hex is smaller than a standard sized hex nut, and it is shorter than a standard hex nut. It achieves its locking action by using an elliptical offset on the un-flanged end of the nut.[4]
