Questions & Answers about Brass Acorn (Cap) Nuts:
2013-02-15TOM BRANNELLY asked: What is the thread depth (height) of the 1/2-13 brass cap nut?
+Expand Answers
2013-02-20JOE MOTTA: The nuts were about 1/2" in size. Not sure about the depth, sorry. I bought them at the request of someone else, but i know they worked out perfectly.
Sorry couldn't be of more help.
2013-02-20ALLAN HURT: The depth of thread is about the diameter as I recall. So for a 1/2" nut you will get 1/2" of thread.
2013-02-20LEIF HENDRICKSEN: Tom:
The brass Acorn Nuts I purchased 1/4" X 20, however the proportion of the usable thread depth and depth of the inside dome from the face of the nut should be comparable. Your measurements would be twice those of the 1/4' nuts shown below.....
1/4" brass acorn nut measures
.280 inch of usable thread inside of the nut.
.350 inch of space from face to the inside of the dome.
2012-02-15FIRST NAME LAST NAME asked: I am looking for an 8-32 Brass Acorn Nut. I am trying to match some existing acorn nuts that have an outside dimension of 3/8 of an inch. Can you tell me what the outside dimension is?

2012-02-15MICHAEL DICIERO: Sorry, I no longer have them to measure,
2012-02-15DAVID CAMPBELL: Hi! I just went out to our garden railroad and measured the brass acorn nuts as it was getting dark. I brought the ruler in and looked at it in a good light and I would say the outside measurement is 5.5 sixteenths of an inch. So it is a hair under 3/8ths of an inch. David

2012-02-16ERIC PERSSON: I bought much larger nuts for a 5/16" bolt, so I am not sure about the dimensions of the #8-32. From what I can tell, the brass nuts are identical in size to the stainless nuts - same socket size. So if you now have plated or stainless acorn nuts that are the size you want, I believe the brass nuts will be the same.
By the way - the machining quality of this supplier was excellent - I ended-up polishing and lacquering the nuts and washers to maintain the beautiful finish.
2012-01-28JAYE LAST NAME asked: Why don't you show the thread sizes in the product description?
+Expand Answers
2012-01-30Ryan L: The last numbers in the product description are threads...
For example, FBRAN832 8-32. is a #8 w/ 32 threads per inch.

Comments about Jamestown Distributors Brass Acorn (Cap) Nuts:
I use these for decorative caps in the construction of wood-gear clocks. The previous reviewer is correct in saying that these are not well finished and not "decorative" [...]. They are, however, solid brass, so I spin them on a threaded rod in the drill press and polish them with fine abrasive paper and Nevr-Dull, after which they look fine.

Comments about Jamestown Distributors Brass Acorn (Cap) Nuts:
These acorn nuts are perfectly functional, but for a part with a decorative purpose, they are lacking. I had to spin them in a drill press and polish them with grades of sandpaper and Never-Dull to make them presentable on a wooden clock frame.

Comments about Jamestown Distributors Brass Acorn (Cap) Nuts:
The example photo shows a nice crown on the acorn nut. However, the actual crown looks like they have all been flattened with a hammer. I was looking more for an aesthetic look rather than an industrial look. Will not order these again unless I can get what the photo actually looks like.
