Tanner Bolt & Nut now offers Trident® Nuts in 316 stainless steel, which gives better overall corrosion resistance than 304 stainless steel. These are ideal for applications that require corrosion protection, such as outdoor settings subject to rain, snow, humidity and other extreme weather conditions.
Trident® Nuts are a unique and versatile variety of tamperproof nuts. Their unique conical design prevents unauthorized removal of the nuts to guarantee security. Each nut has three indented slots that allow removal only with the use of limited availability tools.
June 2010. A contractor may occasionally require both security and removability of a security nut. A fixture being fastened must not be tampered with, though at some point in the future, accessibility by authorized personnel may be necessary. Trident Tamper Proof Nuts offer this kind of versatility.
Trident® Nuts made from Zamak 5 Zinc Alloy (AC41A) and 316 stainless steel provide extreme protection against corrosion. They are lightweight, have good strength, are durable and rust-proof. Zinc alloy coupled with steel has shown no significant galvanic corrosion after five years of exposure trials. In addition, Zamak 5 has the highest impact of strength from all zinc based alloys.
Moreover, Trident® Nuts are tapped to standard bolt dimensions but can be tapped to oversize as well in order to accept hot galvanized fasteners. The security can further be enhanced by partial recessing of the nut below the surface of the work or by adding nylon locking elements to the internal threads. A tamperproof nut can be dyed, colored and plated for a variety of applications. These have been used extensively in correctional institutions, universities, hospitals, retail stores and other public places for security.
Trident® Nuts are manufactured by Tanner Bolt & Nut Corp, established in 1979. Over the past 30 years, the company has grown and built a reputation on its products, service and pricing.
