Single Thread U-Nuts are used where a full bearing surface on the lower leg is desired. During assembly, these high-performance U-shaped nuts are placed over the edge of a stamped panel, or through a pre-stamped slot. They are then simply pushed until the rear of the fastener locates against the plastic or metal panel edge or snaps into the clearance hole. U-Nuts are self-retained in screw-receiving position to provide simple, rapid attachment of mating panels. They cannot turn as the screw is driven.

Additional Information
Additional Information |
N/A Corrosion presents no problem, as 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. Parts featured on this page will fit screws size 5/16" and larger. If the part you are looking for is not in the standard matrix below, please contact an EFC International Representative. If your part is not manufactured, EFC engineers can design exactly what you need to satisfy your unique applications. |
