Features and Benefits N/A U-Nut Retainers are easily snapped over panel edges or inserted into rectangular holes in central-panel locations. Floating alignment and retention are attained with extrusions in the retaining legs that snap into panel mounting holes. This allows the fastener to shift or align, but not disengage. Applied after painting or porcelainizing, U-Nut Retainers eliminate the need for masking or re-tapping clogged threads.
