Sleeve Nuts
Sleeve nuts are similar to coupling nuts in that they are designed to connect two like-diameter fasteners. They are typically threaded right hand on each end but differ from coupling nuts since they have a stop in the middle, are longer, and they are 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.
