Need help identifying something!

[Codeman]

Are we talking like a thumbscrew that the washer locks down?

 

[Brine]

Jim... lend insight on how you attach this thing to the rods you are connecting

 

[Jim]

I have 2 metal rods 1/2 inch thick made of metal that I need to connect sort of like this rotisserie spit pictured. I need to guarantee that they will not come apart unless I break them down to put them away.

 

[Codeman]

I know what you are trying to do just not sure what you are asking to identify.

Are we talking coupling nuts?

 

[S&MFISH]

Now ,I think he's looking for "intercourse nuts" or washers.

In vehicle alignment...they are called "shims" and much bigger.

Helicoil Screw Thread Inserts?

 

[Codeman]

I get what you are trying to do. Just don't understand exactly what you are looking for. Are you using jam nuts?

Is one rod male and the other female? Do you need a serrated flange nut?

then couldn he use a turnbuckle ?

 

[Codeman]

Well it sounds like to me he is just trying to lock the 2 rods end to end. A coupling nut and jam nuts would do this but it sounds like to me he wants them serrated to ensure they don't come uncoupled as they rotate in something. Am I in the ball park Jim? :?: :?:
