What do you call this "nut"?

[tallyho8]

I saw these on Amazon a while back while looking for something else and now I don't remember the proper name to search for them.
I need to buy some for my joystick. They have threads on 4 sides so you can mount the joystick facing up or out.
What's their name?

Barrel nut. You could drill and tap threaded couplers also.

I just extended my joysticks with threaded couplers and ready rod. Here is what I just did yesterday.

 

[Imold]

Mine were 10mmx1.5.

I did it this way for strength. I still need to put blue loctite on the threads.

 

[tallyho8]

I don't need to extend them. I need to change the direction they point 90 degrees.
A barrel nut only has holes on 2 sides. I need a nut with threaded holes on 4 sides.

 

[Imold]

Ok got ya I mis read it.

Buy two. Weld one across the end of the other.



Or weld a bolt on the side of the nut. Depends on the gender of your hardware.

Do you have enough clearance to use something like this? I've seen these with either pipe thread or bolt thread:

On a Nortrac valve I found this on the nut you are looking for and it’s the same for 2-3-4-5-6 way directional valves and it appears to be part of another item, here is a diagram from Northern tool. It is item 19.




There is a phone number listed so you can call and see it that piece is available separately.

Actually, I could use something as simple as this if I could find one with bolt thread to screw my handle into and then screw it into my valve to change the direction that my handle faces but I can not find one with the right thread.
