Hillman Zinc Steel Short Jack Nuts for Thin Soft Panels, #10-24, 20 Pk
Hillman Zinc Steel Short Jack Nuts for Thin Soft Panels, #10-24, 20 Pk
Hillman Jack Nuts are blind fasteners built for thin, soft, or brittle materials where an ordinary nut cannot be reached or would crush the surface. Designed for assembly-line and repair use, the jack nut adds a strong machine-screw thread from a single side, so panels and parts can be bolted together even when there is no access behind the material. Installation works from one side: insert the short nut into a drilled hole, then tighten a 10-24 coarse-thread screw to draw the nut up so it grips and clamps against the back of the material. Because the load is spread over a wide bearing area, it holds firmly without distorting or deforming soft plastics or thin sheet metal. Made from steel with a protective zinc plating, the jack nut resists rust and corrosion and keeps its clamping grip over time. That lets it hold a threaded connection securely in soft or thin material through weather, vibration, and repeated use, giving a dependable anchor where the material itself could not hold a screw. Use these jack nuts in thin sheet metal, plastic panels, fiberglass, boats, campers, trailers, and appliances, wherever a screw needs a strong anchor and only one side can be reached. Match the screw to the 10-24 thread. This twenty-piece pack keeps a supply on hand for assembly and repair projects at home, in the shop, or on the water. From the Manufacturer The Jack Nut threaded insert is an economical blind fastener designed for assembly-line use in thin, soft or brittle materials. When tightened, the body collapses to form legs which grip the inside of the mounting surface, leaving a permanent, reusable threaded insert.
