[Cap Nuts]
Cap nuts are hexagonal nuts closed on one side, so the threaded hole does not extend the whole length. This prevents bolts from sticking out, giving a beautiful appearance and preventing issues caused by snagging on protruding bolts.
These are sometimes called "cosmetic nuts" because they improve appearance and enhance safety. However, since one end of the nut part is blocked, one must consider the length of the thread relative to the bolt length to be used.
