An assembly for a turbine engine having a longitudinal axis includes a first structural element and a nut device, the first structural element having a first hole and a second hole, and the nut device having a retainer fixed to an inner face of the first structural element, the retainer comprising at least a first recess and a second recess connected to one another by a connecting element, the first recess and the second recess each retaining a nut respectively aligned with the first hole and the second hole which are formed through the first structural element, the connecting element being, in whole or in part, adapted to compensate for a greater thermal expansion of the retainer than the thermal expansion of the first structural element.
