A slotted nut, also known as a castellated nut, is a hex nut with opposed slots cut into the top of the nut through the centers of the flats. The slots are on the end opposite the bearing face. The slots are for the insertion of a cotter pin to secure the nut when used with a drilled shank fastener. For heavier duty applications BW Industrial Sales carries a heavy hex slotted nut.
