Create corrosion-resistant threads in soft metal and plastic panels—these stainless steel press-fit nuts withstand exposure to water and chemicals. Also known as broach-style captive nuts, they add permanent threads to sheets, like weld nuts, but without the setup and mess. Press them into a drilled or punched hole with an arbor press or similar pressure tool. The pressure forms your material into the knurls of the nut, making the nut inseparable from the sheet. Installation requires access to both sides of the panel.
