Metric Steel Press-Fit Nuts for Sheet Metal
Add permanent metric threads to sheet metal, like weld nuts, but without the setup and mess. A zinc plating on these steel press-fit nuts provides corrosion resistance in wet environments. 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.

Metric Stainless Steel Press-Fit Nuts for Sheet Metal
Made from 18-8 stainless steel, these metric nuts withstand contact with water and chemicals better than zinc-plated steel nuts. They 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.

High-Strength A286 Stainless Steel Press-Fit Nuts for Sheet Metal
The strongest and hardest press-fit nuts we offer. In addition to their sturdiness, these A286 stainless steel nuts withstand harsh chemicals. They add permanent threads to sheet metal, like weld nuts but without the setup and mess. Unlike most press-fit nuts, they’re even hard enough to install in stainless steel panels. 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.
