Features and Benefits
Features and Benefits |
N/A In metal applications, Self-Retaining T-Nut fasteners are typically spot welded or projection welded, with the flange attached to a base plate. They may also be snapped into holes. Either way, they obviate costly tapping and simplify design. In non-metallic applications, Self-Retaining T-Nut fasteners are usually driven into holes. They may provide threads and add strength to relatively weak materials. Some Self-Retaining T-Nut fasteners for non-metallic applications may be fed and applied automatically. |
