= Interfering thread nut
{wiki=Interfering_thread_nut}
An "interfering thread nut" generally refers to a specific type of fastener that is designed to create a secure fit with a threaded fastener, such as a bolt or screw, by having threads that are slightly larger in diameter than the corresponding external threads. The term "interfering" indicates that there is an intentional design feature where the internal threads of the nut are interfered with the outer threads of the bolt.
