Aligning Weld Nuts
Threads float inside the retainer so you can install a bolt at a slight angle to align with off-center parts. Weld these nuts to metal surfaces for a strong, permanent hold. They stand up to high torque and pulling force better than rivet nuts.
For the strongest threads, choose steel nuts. Nuts with a steel retainer should be welded to uncoated steel surfaces. Zinc-plated steel nuts resist corrosion in wet environments. Nuts with an aluminum retainer should be welded to aluminum surfaces.
For the most corrosion resistance, choose stainless steel nuts. They have a stainless steel retainer, so they should be welded to stainless steel surfaces.

Stainless Steel Snap-In Nuts
For excellent corrosion resistance in most environments, these nuts are made of 18-8 stainless steel. Snap them into square holes in thin material, and the mounting legs expand to lock them in place. Also known as cage nuts, the threads float inside the cage, so you can fasten a bolt at a slight angle to align off-center parts. These nuts are often used to mount servers and other equipment in electronics racks. They may be mildly magnetic.
Install these nuts by hand, with pliers, or with a snap-in nut installation and removal tool.

Easy-to-Install Snap-In Nuts
Pinch the flexible plastic casing of these nuts to add threads to thin metal. Unlike typical rigid snap-in nuts, these squeeze into a square hole from the front or back of your material. Once installed, they stay put. They meet DIN EN 61373, so they’re certified for use in environments with heavy vibration—think a bumpy railcar. GR-63-CORE tested, they’ve also passed earthquake simulations. In your facility, this means you can trust them to hold tight to sensitive equipment, like the servers suspended on your electrical racks.
Also known as cage nuts, they come in two parts—the cage and the nut—that you combine before installation. Threads float inside the cage, so you can fasten a bolt at a slight angle to align with off-center parts.

Slide these nuts on the edge of a panel and position them by hand. Also known as G-style clip-on nuts, they have threads that float inside the retainer so you can install a bolt at a slight angle to align off-center parts.
Zinc-plated steel clip-on nuts are corrosion resistant in wet environments.
Black-phosphate steel clip-on nuts are mildly corrosion resistant in dry environments.

No-Slip Clip-On Nuts

Also known as U-nuts, these nuts squeeze both sides of thin panels for a tighter grip than J-nuts. The hex- or square-shaped barrel gives your wrench a spot to grip, so you can keep these nuts in place as you tighten a machine screw. For secure fastening, multiple threads in the barrel engage with your screw.

Equipment Installation Supports for Electronics Racks
Shelve your worries about dropping heavy and valuable rack components, from servers to router shelves. These supports create temporary ledges to let equipment—and your arms—rest as you set up your electronics rack. Each pack includes four supports, one to prop up each corner of the equipment. Simply snap them into the rack’s rail just below the level where you want to mount equipment. When you’re done installing, pop them right out.
