Semicircular leather nuts
The leather nuts with special advantages!
These half-round leather nuts in diameters of 6, 8, 10 or 11 mm can be screwed onto the threaded wire immediately without any preparatory work. The hole is designed for threaded wires with an outer diameter of 1.8 mm. The lacquered version is recommended for 1.65 mm wires, as the hole is slightly smaller due to the lacquer. For thicker wires, you can drill out the leather nut accordingly.
Punching it out of thick cowhide leather (approx. 5 mm thick) prevents unnecessary compression and the thread easily cuts itself into the leather. Please refer to the picture opposite.
These leather nuts can also be easily loosened later. The material displaced by the thread causes an additional hold over a longer period of time, which is noticeable by a small "crack" when loosening.
As a precautionary measure for damp rooms, we offer an additional lacquer coating for diameters 8, 10 and 11 mm for an additional charge (Cat. No. B8100). This coating is also mold-inhibiting, as humidity condenses on threaded wires in particular and the area around the leather nut is therefore prone to mold growth.
Leather nuts without a center hole are available in size D=10 mm. Wherever our drilled leather nuts cannot be used because the threaded wire is too thin, you can switch to this undrilled version and drill the appropriate hole yourself. These can also be ordered via the store under Cat. No. B8110OL.
