A quick connect nut contains: a body including a first locking part, a second locking part, and a flexible C-shaped retainer. The first locking part includes a first forcing face, a first tilted face, a first peripheral groove, a first semicircular orifice having first inner threads, at least one first protrusion, and at least one first arcuate notch. The second locking part includes a second forcing face, a second tilted face, a second peripheral groove, a second semicircular orifice having second inner threads, at least one second protrusion, at least one second arcuate notch, and a second through hole. When the first and second locking parts lock together, an angle is defined between the first and second tilted faces so that a width of an expanding opening between the first and second locking parts is more than an outer diameter of the threaded rod.
