What self-clinching fasteners do better then nuts and bolts.

Besides being easy to install threaded inserts and ideal blind threaded metal fasteners, we offer you this side by side comparison of some of the major advantages Plug Nuts® hold over the standard nut and bolt combinations.

Plug Nuts®	Conventional Systems
One side manual or power tool assembly.	Two wrench assembly.
Firmly staked in place parallel to the material.	Loose nut must be positioned and started. May cock or tilt.
Low profile of Plug Nut uses shorter screw for same clamp load than either bolt and nut, or recessed insert. No gaps in matching surfaces.	Deformed assembly uses longer screw, and allows gap between matching surfaces.
