J-nuts can attach two sheet-metal panels quickly and easily – in place of welding. The nut clips to the edge of one panel and stays in place as a screw is driven into the J-nut, securing the panels to each other. An extrusion on the J-nut’s retaining leg grips the mounting hole, keeping the nut affixed to the adjoining panel. J-nuts allow movement to accommodate panel misalignments.

J-nuts weigh less than other fasteners, yet still provide a strong, reliable hold, no special skills or tools are required for installation or removal.

Benefits: quick, one-hand installation or removal, allows for panel realignments, reliable Die Co. quality, on-time delivery & competitive pricing.

Available for: sheet-metal screw sizes #6A to #10Z, machine screw sizes 6-32 to ¼-20. Various styles, including: no extrusion on lower leg & straight upper leg.

Various finishes, including: soluble oil, phosphate & oil, phosphate & water-based paint, zinc electroplate & water-based zinc coating.
