Provides high-strength threads in thin materials starting at 0.5mm.
Increased thread strength.
Safeguard design avoids overtightening problems such as thread stripping.
Assembly applications include tubular steel, hydroformed parts, magnesium castings, and aluminum extrusions.
Specifications:
Sizes: M6, M8, M10 and M12
Headforms: Large flange
Shape: Hexagon
Material: Steel Zinc plated to BS 3382 and clear passivated to achieve 240 hours resistance to red corrosion (ASTM B117) Hexavalent Chromium-free
For assistance with hexagonal hole production, see our 74290 tool. The 74290 tool allows customers to benefit from the non-rotational properties of hexagonal inserts compared with round inserts. This is achieved by drilling a round hole, then inserting the 74290 tool and forming a hex hole.
Improves torque-to-turn by up to 350% in sheet metal compared to round-body inserts.
Increases punch life compared to hexagonal geometries.
Blind hole, one-sided installation capability.
Superior pull-out performance.
Can be used for very thin sheet materials from 0.50mm (0.02″).
Provide a female thread-in application.
Can be installed in pre-coated or post-painted applications without damaging the surface.
Clamp two or more sheets.
Various platings available to increase corrosion resistance.
Large-flange head provides a load-bearing surface and reinforces the hole to prevent push-out.
Can be used as a spacer and can be supplied with an underhead seal.
Assembly applications where the Squaresert® is used include automotive body mountings, electrical enclosures, soft sheet metal, plastics & composites, domestic appliances, and general light fabrication.
Specifications:
Thread Sizes: M5-M8
Material: Steel
Finishes: Zinc plated and clear trivalent passivated
Installed quickly by using simple handtools (less than 3 seconds).
Blind hole, one-sided installation capability.
Extra-large blind side bearing area after placing.
Higher pull out and torque-to-turn resistance.
Less radial loading of holes in brittle materials.
Less risk of cracking and de-lamination of composites.
Up to twice the grip range of standard blind inserts.
Enables a designer to reduce the size or number of fasteners in an assembly.
Covers large variations of thicknesses.
Assembly applications include automotive trim and moldings, truck and trailer sandwich sections and paneling, domestic appliances (handles, adjustable feet, and fixing points) and plastic fabrications (assembly of plastic recreation equipment).

Available in steel and brass, Jack-Nut rivet nuts can be coated with RAINTITE® to seal moisture and hard plastic PVC to prevent scratching and galvanic corrosion. Jack-Nut threaded inserts are RoHS-, ELoV-, and WEEE-compliant. Fast Facts: Fastens in blind holes Won’t distort or deform soft plastics or thin sheet metals Fast, inexpensive, and easy to use…
Available in a chloroprene rubber as standard. Other rubber compounds are available including EPDM and nitrile. Chloroprene rubber offers stable strength and exhibits average levels of all beneficial properties. EPDM is ideal for outdoor applications.
Well-Nut® threaded inserts are RoHS-, ELoV-, and WEEE-compliant.
Features and Benefits:
Ideal for isolating against electrical conductivity
