10-16 Screw Single U-Nuts
U-Nuts, also called U-Shaped Speed Nuts®, are self-retained in the screw-receiving position to provide simple and rapid attachment of mating panels. They will not turn when the screw is driven and will not corrode or freeze on screw threads. Typically, U-nuts are used where a full bearing surface on the lower leg is desired. During assembly, these high-performance, single thread nuts are placed over the edge of a stamped panel, or through a pre-stamped slot, then pushed until the fastener inner back locates against the plastic or metal panel edge or snaps into the clearance hole. In addition, the U-Nut's impression actually cleans out rust, dirt or paint clots from the screw threads as they are removed.

Self-Retaining Single Thread U-Nuts
Single Thread U-Nuts are used where a full bearing surface on the lower leg is desired. During assembly, these high-performance "U" nuts are placed over the edge of a stamped panel, or through a pre-stamped slot, and are simply pushed until the rear of the fastener locates against the plastic or metal panel edge or snaps into the clearance hole. They are self-retained in the screw-receiving position to provide simple, rapid attachment of mating panels and cannot turn as the screw is driven.
These U-Nuts will not freeze on screw threads. In fact, the U-Nut's impression actually cleans out rust, dirt or paint clots from the screw threads as they are removed. -
Single Thread High-Torque U-Nuts
Single Thread High-Torque U-Nuts are equally at home on metal or plastic. These unique fasteners bring extra strength, reliability and economy wherever vibration, impact, or migration prevail.
They accept power driven screws readily, discourage cross-threading, won't clog with paint or freeze to screw threads. They are self-retaining over a wide range of panel thicknesses, yet permit trouble-free removal. Unusually high clamp loads are attainable. Prevailing torque is inherent in the design. -
