A slotted nut has a body with a top surface, a bottom surface and a central axis. The body includes a base portion with first and second corners diagonally disposed from each other, the base portion including a flat surface. First arm portion and second arm portion extend from the first and second corners, respectively. The first and second arm portions are each C-shaped with respective first and second half-circle threaded openings including respective first and second centers disposed on the central axis. The first and second half-circle threaded openings face inwardly toward the central axis. The bottom surface is ramped from a third corner on the bottom surface toward the first arm portion to define a gap between the bottom surface below the first arm portion and a horizontal plane perpendicular to the central axis when the third corner is on the bottom surface.
