Au-ve-co Products 11630 U Nut M8x1.25 Spring Steel

Product Description

The AU-VE-CO PRODUCTS 11630 is a spring steel U nut with an extruded tapped hole, designed to accept M8x1.25 metric screws. It features a black phosphate finish for basic corrosion resistance and is manufactured from spring steel for reliable clip retention and consistent thread engagement. The center-to-edge dimension measures 13/16 inches, and the part accommodates panel or sheet material ranging from 0.03 inches to 0.17 inches thick. This type of fastener is installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, and general trade mechanics wherever a pre-threaded clip nut is needed on a sheet metal flange or panel edge.

The 11630 U nut is suited for light-gauge sheet metal assemblies common in HVAC equipment cabinets, electrical enclosures, plumbing access panels, and similar trade applications. It clips onto a panel edge and provides a ready-threaded hole without requiring welded or riveted hardware. The extruded tapped hole design maintains thread integrity under normal fastener load. This part is sold individually but subject to a minimum order quantity of 25 pieces per order.

Key Features

• Extruded tapped hole accepts M8x1.25 metric screws directly
• Spring steel construction provides consistent clip force and thread retention
• Black phosphate finish for corrosion resistance in indoor applications
• Fits material thickness from 0.03 inches to 0.17 inches
• Center-to-edge dimension of 13/16 inches for standard panel flanges
• Metric fastener system for use with M8 hardware

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or stock U nut for light-gauge sheet metal panels and enclosures requiring M8x1.25 metric thread engagement.

Installation Notes

This U nut is installed by sliding the clip onto a panel flange or sheet metal edge prior to driving the mating M8x1.25 screw. Verify the panel material thickness falls within the 0.03 to 0.17 inch rated range before installation to ensure proper retention force. No special tools are required beyond standard hand tools. Always de-energize electrical equipment and isolate mechanical systems before accessing panels where these fasteners are being serviced or replaced.
