2 inch long nut? Special name?

[Noozer]

I'm looking at joining two 3/8" male fittings together. I've seen nuts that are 2 inches (or longer) that would do the job. Unfortunately, I can't find anywhere to buy them.

Is there a special name for these long nuts?

This is for a stabilizer bar end link, so I don't think a turnbuckle would do the job.

Thanks though!

[Noozer]

Thanks!

That's what I was looking for.

It's called a "coupling nut". A turnbuckle has left-handed thread on one end. HTH :-)

I just saw some of these at Home Depot - in the long bank of drawers with standard and semi-specialized hardware. Andy

Home Depot or Lowes.

If they are used to join 2 males, they would be called HOMOSEXUAL NUTS.... By the way, a guy with 2 inch (or longer) nuts would be a freak !!!! You can probably find these nuts on one of the online GAY SITES such as egay.com. Or look to a site such as:
