Shear Barrel Nuts Countersunk Head

Shear Barrel Nuts with Countersunk Head are a unique one-way permanent fastener designed for use in the highest security applications and environments.

Otherwise known as breakaway or “Snap Off” Barrel Nuts, this component features a flat countersunk head with a hexagonal section positioned above it.

Installed into a countersunk hole using a standard hex socket or wrench, the hexagonal section snaps off once the fastening pressure exceeds the maximum torque limit of the barrel nut.

This reveals a plain drive-less head which prevents tampering and removal – an ideal choice for applications where no future maintenance is required.

Countersunk Head Shear Barrel Nuts provide a reliable safety and security solution for a wide range of applications and assemblies. They are typically found in banks, prisons and various industries that require a permanent fixing e.g. aerospace and automotive.
