Thin Sheet Nutsert

A thin sheet nutsert is a threaded insert that gives a strong thread in thin sheet. It is set from one side and leaves a flush or low profile finish.

A thin sheet nutsert gives a threaded hole in thin sheet where a tapped thread would not hold. It is set from one side with a setting tool, and it grips the sheet as it is pulled. A bolt or machine screw then threads into it.

Thin sheet nutserts are often made in steel or stainless steel. Steel can be plated for corrosion resistance, and stainless steel suits outdoor or wet areas.

This is a general guide to checking this kind of part. It says nothing about any supplier's parts.

Ask for a certificate of conformance with the batch. Check the thread, the head shape and that the insert sets without cracking the sheet on receipt.
