No-Slip Clip-On Barrel Nuts
These clip-on nuts have a barrel with multiple threads for secure thread engagement. Also known as U-nuts, they squeeze both sides of thin panels for a tighter grip than J-nuts.
Zinc-plated steel nuts are corrosion resistant in wet environments.
Black-phosphate steel nuts are mildly corrosion resistant in dry environments.
Corrosion-resistant-coated steel nuts hold up the best in wet and outdoor environments. The coating has been tested to extreme standards, including 720 hours of salt spray resistance.

No-Slip Clip-On Nuts
-1610049200-p9@halfx_637456244039021505.png?ver=imagenotfound)
Also known as U-nuts, these nuts squeeze both sides of thin panels for a tighter grip than J-nuts. The hex- or square-shaped barrel gives your wrench a spot to grip, so you can keep these nuts in place as you tighten a machine screw. For secure fastening, multiple threads in the barrel engage with your screw.
Zinc-plated steel nuts are corrosion resistant in wet environments.
Black-phosphate steel nuts are mildly corrosion resistant in dry environments.

Clip-On Nuts
Because one leg is shorter than the other, you can adjust the position of these nuts before you insert a machine screw. Also known as J-nuts, they have a slightly looser fit on thin panels than U-nuts. These nuts have a hex- or square-shaped barrel, so you can hold them in place with a wrench as you tighten a fastener. Multiple threads in the barrel engage with the screw for secure fastening.
Black-phosphate steel nuts are mildly corrosion resistant in dry environments.

No-Slip Clip-On Nuts for Tapping Screws
For a stronger grip than J-nuts, these nuts—also known as U-nuts—firmly squeeze thin panels from both sides. Use them as a fastening point for tapping screws. They’re mildly corrosion resistant in dry environments thanks to a black-phosphate coating.

Clip-On Nut Assortments
Keep a variety of clip-on nuts on hand to create fastening points for screws. Simply slide these nuts onto the edges of thin panels.
Low-profile nuts are for low-clearance applications. No-slip nuts squeeze both sides of the panel for a tight grip. They’re also known as U-nuts. Barrel nuts have multiple threads for secure thread engagement.
