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.

Add lightweight, corrosion-resistant threads to sheet metal. These aluminum press-fit nuts are one-third the weight of steel press-fit nuts and better withstand wet environments. However, they’re only about half as strong. Use press-fit nuts to add permanent threads to thin metal surfaces, 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.

To fit in low-clearance areas, these press-fit nuts have a flat hex head that sits flush against the surface of your material. Made of 18-8 stainless steel, they withstand contact with water and chemicals better than zinc-plated steel nuts. Use them 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.

Install corrosion-resistant threads that align with off-center parts. These press-fit nuts have floating threads that account for misalignment, allowing you to insert screws at a slight angle as you fasten two parts together. Made of 18-8 stainless steel, they withstand mild chemicals and can be used in wet and outdoor environments. Use them 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.

Align off-center parts as you fasten them together—these steel press-fit nuts have floating threads, so you can install bolts at a slight angle. Zinc plating protects them from rust in wet environments. Use them 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.

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.

Thanks to their covered threads, these press-fit nuts protect against leaks and debris. They have a zinc plating to prevent them from rusting in wet environments. Use them to add permanent threads to sheet metal and panels without the setup and mess of weld nuts. For installation, make sure you have access to both sides of your workpiece. Line them up with a drilled or punched hole that suits their size, then press them down 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. Also known as clinch-style captive nuts.
