A nut has two parts, each having a section of an internal thread which is radially slidable onto an external thread. The nut parts have cooperating connecting elements which permit relative displacement in a direction extending radially with respect to the axis of the internal thread until reaching a use position in which the internal thread of the nut engages around the external thread with a small clearance. The connecting elements have guide surfaces which guide the nut parts in a rotational movement about an axis of rotation extending transversely to the axis of the internal thread when displaced into the use position. Each nut part has at least one first locking arm which has on one side a guide surface which induces the rotational movement when the nut parts are displaced and bears against a complementary guide surface on a second locking arm of the other nut part.
