Abstract
An extended counterbore nut has a nut body and an attached collar extending from counterbore in the nut body. The bore of the collar is about equal in diameter to the major diameter of the thread of the bolt used with the nut so that the collar aligns the bolt and nut for threading. At a predetrmined axial load, the collar releases from the nut body and enters the counterbore, shortening the nut.
