Au-ve-co Products 12122 Spring Steel Push Nut M5x0.80

Product Description

The AU-VE-CO PRODUCTS 12122 is a spring steel push nut designed for use with M5x0.80 threaded fasteners. The push nut features an 11mm outside diameter and a zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance. It installs by pressing onto a threaded screw or stud, where the spring steel tines grip the threads and resist loosening under vibration. This type of fastener is commonly installed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general mechanical tradespeople in panel assemblies, equipment housings, and mechanical enclosures where a low-profile, one-way retention method is required.

The 12122 push nut is suited for light-duty fastening applications where a conventional hex nut is impractical or unnecessary. It fits M5x0.80 threaded fasteners and is typically used in sheet metal assemblies, appliance components, HVAC equipment panels, and similar manufactured assemblies requiring a quick, secure retention solution. The zinc plating helps protect the spring steel from oxidation in indoor and light-duty environments.

Key Features

• Fits M5x0.80 threaded fasteners for precise thread compatibility
• 11mm outside diameter provides adequate bearing surface on panel or substrate
• Spring steel construction delivers firm grip and vibration resistance
• Zinc-plated finish offers corrosion protection for indoor and light-duty applications
• Push-on installation requires no tools, reducing assembly time

Compatibility

Designed for use with M5x0.80 threaded fasteners in mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical equipment assemblies requiring a push-on retention nut.

Installation Notes

Push nuts are installed by pressing firmly onto the threaded fastener by hand or with a flat-faced setting tool until the tines engage the threads fully. Ensure the mating fastener is free of burrs or debris before installation. Push nuts are intended as one-way fasteners and should not be removed and reused once seated. Always de-energize and lock out equipment before performing any fastener work on live electrical or mechanical assemblies.
