BLIND NUTS

This Blind nut fastener consists of a knurled aluminum/brass nut in a tapered wall nylon cage. Driving a screw into the nut during assembly draws the nut up, expanding the cage wall and locking it into the hole.   Blind Nuts are priced competitively, require only production tolerance round holes; have the lowest assembly cost of any blind nut; and thereby reduce the in-place cost.   FEATURES AND ADVANTAGES Spring tension of nylon cage securely holds nut in hole prior to final assembly. Fits all sheet thicknesses. It can be used in metal, fiberglass and plastic. Protects prefinished or brittle surfaces as only the nylon comes in contact with sheet material.< Makes assembly rattle-proof and dampens vibration. Made from corrosion resistant materials; the nylon cage and the aluminum/brass nut.   Insert into either drilled or stamped holes with finger pressure, requires no special installation tools.     How To Use Blind Nuts 1. Drill or stamp a hole to dimension D. 2. Push fastener into hole with finger pressure or light tap. 3. Select screw length as specified. 4. Locate component to be attached over Blind Nut and insert screw. 5. Drive screw until solid resistance is felt. 6. The component to be attached must not turn while driving the screw. Torque must not be transmitted from the screw head to the head of nylon cage. Washers alone are not acceptable since they will turn.
