Nut cap and method of securing a nut on a bolt

Abstract

An apparatus for containing a nut on a bolt including a housing having a main body, a proximal end and a distal end. A threaded aperture may be formed within the distal end of the main body for threading the housing onto the bolt. A flange extending from the housing that may engage the substrate when the housing is threaded over the bolt. At least one aperture formed within the flange for securing the housing to the substrate. A pair of housings may be placed adjacent one another and secured in a stationary position by a connector inserted through respective apertures formed in a flange of each housing. The connector may connect the housings together and be sized to prevent each housing from turning beyond an acceptable tolerance with respect to the other housing. The connector may be used to secure individual housings to other stationary components.
