Root Nuts

Root nuts, often utilized in sheet metal applications, offer a practical solution for securely fastening components to thin panels. These nuts are designed to be installed and flared into the panel, creating a robust and reliable connection. The installation process typically involves placing the root nut into a pre-drilled hole in the sheet metal panel. Once inserted, the nut’s flange or base rests against the panel’s surface. Using a specialized tool or process, the flange of the nut is then flared or deformed, creating a secure attachment that resists loosening or dislodging.
