Irregularly shaped threads in these press-fit nuts form a tight grip, preventing screws from backing out in vibration-heavy environments. Use these nuts to install corrosion-resistant threads that align with off-center parts. They have floating threads that account for misalignment, allowing you to insert screws at a slight angle as you fasten two parts together. With a long, extended barrel that’s threaded from end-to-end, these nuts have excellent thread engagement. They’re made of 18-8 stainless steel, so they stand up to mild chemicals and wet and outdoor environments.

Use press-fit nuts to add permanent threads to sheet metal, like weld nuts but without the setup and mess. Also known as clinch-style captive nuts, press them into a drilled or punched hole with an arbor press or similar pressure tool. The pressure forms your sheet metal into the knurls of the nut, making the nut inseparable from the sheet. Installation requires access to both sides of the panel.

Nuts that meet NASM25027 adhere to National Aerospace Standards for tight tolerances and locking torque.
