Sleeve Nuts
Sleeve nuts are similar to coupling nuts in that they are designed to connect two like-diameter fasteners. They often used in place of turnbuckles in combination with high strength tie rods. These custom nuts are typically threaded right hand (RH) left hand (LH). This allows the rods to be tightened once assembled. They are also available threaded right hand on both ends. A sleeve nut differs from coupling nuts because there is a stop in the middle, longer, and tapered into the middle from each end.
Since hot-dip galvanizing typically adds 2.2 to 5 mils of thickness to the threaded portion of a fastener, galvanized sleeve nuts are tapped oversize to compensate for the corrosion resistant coating on the bolts.
