    Stainless Steel Snap-In Nuts

    Image of Attribute. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. 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.
