This pair of acorn nuts represents a high-quality fastening solution, specifically for divers following the DIR philosophy and for anyone seeking a clean, snag-free setup.
Key Features:
-
Material: Made from AISI 316 Stainless Steel (marine grade), ensuring absolute resistance to galvanic corrosion and oxidation in saltwater.
-
"Blind" and Rounded Design: The end of the nut is closed and features a semi-spherical (rounded) cap shape. This design offers two critical advantages:
-
Equipment Protection: Completely covers the threaded end of the bolt, preventing it from scratching or cutting the BCD bladder or wetsuit.
-
Safety: Eliminates accidental snag points (entanglement) for lines or ropes during diving.
-
Hydrodynamic Profile: The rounded shape reduces overall bulk and facilitates water flow and component positioning.
-
Compatibility: Standard threading (usually M8), compatible with most bolts and screws used in technical backplate and wing systems.
Common Applications:
-
Backplate/Wing Attachment: Used to tighten the bolts that connect the backplate to the double tank or single tank adapter.
-
Technical Configurations: Ideal for finishing the mounting of accessories on brackets or plates where the screw would otherwise be exposed towards the diver's body or the wing.
