Steel Press-Fit Nuts for Sheet Metal
Add permanent threads to sheet metal, like weld nuts, but without the setup and mess. A zinc plating on these steel press-fit nuts helps prevent rust 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.

Stainless Steel Press-Fit Nuts for Sheet Metal
Create permanent, corrosion-resistant threads in sheet metal without the setup and mess of weld nuts. Made of 18-8 stainless steel, these press-fit nuts withstand water and mild chemicals better than zinc-plated steel nuts. 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.

Stainless Steel Narrow Press-Fit Nuts for Sheet Metal
15% narrower than other press-fit nuts, these add corrosion-resistant threads to sheet metal in tight spaces. Made of stainless steel, these press-fit nuts withstand water and chemicals better than zinc-plated steel nuts. They 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.

Stainless Steel Aligning Press-Fit Nuts for Sheet Metal
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.
