These special flat nuts with a wrench width of 15 mm have been used for a variety of applications. The small width of the wrench already betrays the fact that the space is so limited that it is difficult, if not impossible, to access it with a standard 17 mm wrench. In addition, the nut is also half the size of a standard nut, which is necessary in certain applications where two nuts are screwed together to secure them and standard nuts would not be suitable in terms of height due to lack of space.
Below is a list of the applications in which these nuts have been used, and the number of nuts you would need if you had to replace them all.
