Self-Retaining Threaded Nuts

The GL Huyett catalog of self-retaining threaded nuts includes cage nuts, Speed Nut® U-nuts and expansion nuts. Cage nuts require access to the back of the panel for placement and provide a strong point of attachment for a screw or bolt to prevent disassembly of mating panels. ARaymond Tinnerman Speed Nut® U-nuts provide a quick and simple attachment point on panel edges. Also called U-shaped or Tinnerman nuts, Speed Nut® U-nuts are light weight, reliable fasteners that provide a simple, low cost alternative to traditional mechanical fasteners. Expansion nuts, also called snap-in nuts, come with either a tapped barrel or a single stamped impression and only requires access to one side of the panel to simplify installation (blind applications). The legs of the nuts expand behind the panel to hold the expansion nut in place while still providing a serviceable joint.

• Self-retaining threaded nuts remain in place for transport during the manufacturing process to aid in assembly
• The counter torque feature eliminates the need to access the back of the panel once the nut has been placed onto the panel.
• Requires no special tools or special training to install
