TR Fastenings is to introduce the new K-Series nut, the first nut which can be used for sheet steel and plastic applications too thin to be tapped by conventional methods.
The K-Series nut has been specially designed for use in applications with a minimum sheet thickness of 1mm. The nut, which offers a permanent female thread, can be installed without the need for specialist tooling. Once fixed, the product offers a permanent thread with a high prevailing torque and pullout resistance.
K-Series nuts are manufactured in a case hardened carbon steel, plated and tested to ISO898, stainless steel can be supplied to order. Sizes range from M2.5-M16, with three different spigot lengths, the body of the product is hexagon with a serrated spigot.
The K-Series nut, which will be available in time for the Fastener Fair Hannover from 24-26 April 2012, joins a long list of products especially designed to be used in sheet metal applications. TR Fastenings offer a wide range of sheet metal products, including; the genuine Hank rivet bush, Hank self clinch fasteners, weld nuts, blind rivets, rivet nuts and weld nuts.
