Frequently Asked Questions about Skiffy Nut and Screw Covers

How do I choose the right size for a screw/nut cover?

For an M6 screw cover, measure the diameter of your screw or nut. The M6 corresponds to a thread diameter of 6mm. If your hardware measures 8mm, opt for an M8 cover, for 10mm an M10 cover, etc. The base must adapt perfectly to the diameter of your fastener.

• M6 screw = thread diameter 5.90mm approx.
• M8 screw = thread diameter 7.90mm approx.
• M10 screw = thread diameter 9.90mm approx.

Is the black nut cover cap resistant to weather and UV rays?

Yes, this black plastic protective cover made of high-quality polypropylene is fully resistant to UV rays, rain, frost, and temperature variations. It is specially designed for outdoor use and maintains its mechanical properties over time.

Can a nut cover cap be removed once installed?

No, that is precisely its tamper-proof security function. Once the cap is clipped onto the base, it cannot be removed by hand. To remove it, the cap must be damaged using a tool. This feature makes it an ideal protection for children’s playgrounds and public installations.

Is this nut cover suitable for wood screws?

Yes, this screw cover is suitable for both metal bolt-nut assemblies and wood screws. The important thing is that the diameter of the screw head or nut matches the product specifications.

How do you properly install a screw protective cover?

Installation is done in 3 simple steps:

1. Ensure the hardware is dry (no moisture or condensation)
2. Place the plastic base over the screw or nut, tightening moderately
3. Clip the black cap onto the base until you hear the locking “click”

⚠️ Important: Do not overtighten, as the force is transmitted to the plastic base; ensure you do not crack it.

Installing Screw Covers on Your Soulet Playground

After the complete assembly of your Soulet swing set or gantry, simply position each nut cover over the M6 screw heads. The clip-on system ensures a firm and durable fit without requiring specific tools.
