    Plate nuts are really useful, used them on vacuum systems in grad school. Once threaded by hand, you don’t need a wrench for the nut end since the other nut prevents the plate from rotating. Made star-pattern tightening a large flange with cramped access relatively easy.

    Can’t believe I went through years of grad school with puerile labmates and never once heard (or used) that phrase…
