Product Summary

Longze Vlerkmoere (also known as Butterfly Nuts) are manufactured according to DIN 315 en ASME B18.6.9 standards, widely used in lighting equipment, consumer electronics, drum kits, and temporary

structures. Featuring two ergonomic "wings", these Longze Vlerkmoere are designed for applications requiring frequent, manual adjustments without the need for wrenches or specialized tools, providing a convenient

and reliable hand-tightened connection.

• ✔ Tool-Free Operation: The large wing surface area allows for high leverage using only fingers, making them ideal for quick-release and rapid assembly.

•  

• ✔ Precision Threading: Engineered with smooth internal Metric or Imperial threads to prevent galling, especially in Vlekvrye staal variations.

•  

• ✔ Robust Construction: Available in Forged (heavy duty) or Stamped (light duty) designs to match specific load and aesthetic requirements.
