Press-Fit Nuts for Sheet Metal
 |  |
Add permanent threads to thin panels in seconds. The knurls on these clinch-style nuts deform and grip sheet metal to create a permanent hold. Push them into a drilled or punched hole with an arbor press around your workpiece to install—no messy welding required.
18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these nuts resist rust and mild chemicals.
High-Temperature High-Strength A286 Stainless Steel—Our strongest press-fit nuts are hard enough to install in stainless steel panels. They also withstand temperatures up to 1150° F and resist corrosion from chemicals such as bleach and chlorine.

Press-Fit Nuts for Soft Metals and Plastic
 |  |
The ridged knurls on these broach-style nuts cut into soft metal and plastic without deforming them. They add permanent threads to everything from soft brass panels to brittle circuit boards.
18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these nuts resist rust and mild chemicals.
Self-Aligning Press-Fit Locknuts for Sheet Metal
 |  |
Fasten together unaligned parts and keep screws in place. The threaded hole within these press-fit nuts shifts up to .01" in any direction, so you can fasten together thin panels with off-center holes. The irregularly shaped threads tightly grip screws to prevent them from loosening or backing out under vibration.

Swage-Locking Threaded Inserts
 |  |
Add strong threads to the edges of soft metal without bulging or cracking the material. These inserts have thinner walls than our key-locking and thread-locking inserts, so they don’t need as much space around them. The knurls press (swage) into the material to keep inserts in place when you tighten or loosen a screw.
To install these inserts, you need a drill bit, a counterbore, a standard tap, an installation tool, and a hammer. Drill a hole, counterbore the top, and tap it. Place the insert into the installation tool, then hand-tighten it into the tapped hole. Strike the tool to secure the insert and drive the knurls into the surrounding material.
High-Strength 17-4 PH Stainless Steel—The strongest stainless steel inserts we offer. They handle high-stress installations, such as pump and compressor housings, and the heavy vibration of aircraft parts. They won’t rust in wet and outdoor environments but can’t withstand the harsh chemicals and acids that 316 stainless steel can.
