Reliable Root Nut Solutions For Demanding Applications
When working with thin sheet metals, there is always a chance of loose connections. There are multiple reasons for the same. One of these being unavailability of enough material depth, and the second reason is that there is minimal access to the rear end, which makes it difficult to use the regular nuts.
A root nut resolves these challenges by creating a stable internal thread within the panel itself. These are easily installable even without seeing the blind side of the metal. At Concept Fasteners, we manufacture robust root nuts suitable for multiple uses due to high material and build quality.
We supply steel root nuts with a zinc-plated finish, which offers protection against corrosion, thus extending their service life.
Our root nuts are specified across a wide range of Australian applications, including:
- Electrical enclosures and switchboards
- Transport and automotive assemblies
- HVAC ducting, panels, and equipment housings
- Fabricated sheet metal frames and housings
- Cabinets, racks, and control panels
- Light industrial equipment
How to Choose the Right Root Nut For Your Needs?
We offer a wide variety of root nuts, from round body to hex body and knurled. It’s important to select the right type so they are suitable for the job at hand. Few things to consider for the same are:
Understand the Fastening Material
Identify the material before choosing the nut to ensure that it will function best. If you’re working with softer materials such as aluminium, opt for a knurled nut. In the case of high-strength steel, a round body nut comes in handy.
Match the Thickness
Every root nut has a specified grip range for material thickness. Choose one where the actual panel thickness falls within this range for reliable performance.
Choose the Correct Thread Size and Type
Select a metric or imperial thread that matches your bolt or fastener. Additionally, confirm the thread pitch to avoid misfit and installation issues.
Check Tool Compatibility
Ensure your rivet nut tool or rivet setter supports the size and style you are buying. Using incorrect tooling can lead to inconsistent installation.
Look for Rotation Resistance
If the application is subject to vibration, consider hex-body or knurled options to reduce spin in the hole.
