Steel Snap-In Nuts
Snap these nuts—also known as cage nuts—into square holes in thin material. They’re often used to mount servers and other equipment in electronics racks. Threads float inside the cage, so you can fasten a bolt at a slight angle to align off-center parts. Mounting legs expand to lock these nuts in place.
Install these nuts by hand, with pliers, or with a snap-in nut installation and removal tool.
Black-phosphate steel nuts are mildly corrosion resistant in dry environments.
Zinc-plated steel nuts resist corrosion in wet environments.

Stainless Steel Snap-In Nuts
For excellent corrosion resistance in most environments, these nuts are made of 18-8 stainless steel. Snap them into square holes in thin material, and the mounting legs expand to lock them in place. Also known as cage nuts, the threads float inside the cage, so you can fasten a bolt at a slight angle to align off-center parts. These nuts are often used to mount servers and other equipment in electronics racks. They may be mildly magnetic.
Install these nuts by hand, with pliers, or with a snap-in nut installation and removal tool.

No-Slip Clip-On Enclosed Hex Nuts
Also known as S-nuts, these nuts have the strongest grip of any of our clip-on nuts. They firmly squeeze both sides of a thin panel to create a secure fastening point for screws.
Cadmium-plated steel nuts are more corrosion resistant in wet environments than zinc-plated steel nuts. The plating also adds slipperiness, making them easy to slide onto a panel.
Zinc-plated steel nuts are corrosion resistant in wet environments.

Slide these nuts on the edge of a panel and position them by hand. Also known as G-style clip-on nuts, they have threads that float inside the retainer so you can install a bolt at a slight angle to align off-center parts.
Zinc-plated steel clip-on nuts are corrosion resistant in wet environments.
Black-phosphate steel clip-on nuts are mildly corrosion resistant in dry environments.
Flanged Push Nuts
A flange distributes the load over a large area and reduces stress where the nut meets the material surface. Push them over threads to hold fasteners in light-duty holding applications. A zinc plating provides corrosion resistance in wet environments.
