ASME B18.2.2 Sight Hole Coupling Nuts
ASME B18.2.2 sight hole coupling nuts are inch-series hexagon coupling nuts featuring a drilled inspection hole through one side. This hole serves as a visual aid to verify that threaded rods inserted from both ends meet at the center of the nut, ensuring proper thread engagement. These nuts are commonly used in structural and heavy-duty applications where joint integrity is critical.
