An improved split nut for use in blowout preventers temporarily installed on oil or gas wells is formed by fastening a base and a cap together. Fastening bolts are inserted through holes in the cap and in packing inserts in the base, and threaded into fastening nuts positioned within recesses in the base. Plugs seal the recesses from corrosive materials and hold the fastening nuts in position for convenient assembly. The packing inserts are compressed when the fastening nuts and bolts are tightened to seal the threads of the fastening bolts and nuts from corrosive materials that may seep through the cap holes.
