Au-ve-co Products 1899 Rectangular Speed Nut 8-32

Product Description

The AU-VE-CO PRODUCTS 1899 is a rectangular speed nut designed for fast, tool-light fastening in sheet metal and panel assembly applications. Stamped from spring steel and finished in black phosphate, this speed nut accepts an 8-32 threaded fastener and snaps onto a mating panel edge or slot, allowing a screw to be driven from one side without a back-side wrench. The spring tension of the stamped steel body holds the nut in place during assembly. Measuring 0.5 inches long by 0.875 inches wide, it is a standard size used across HVAC cabinet work, electrical enclosures, and equipment panel assembly.

This speed nut is used in residential and light commercial applications wherever sheet metal panels, junction boxes, HVAC equipment cabinets, or similar assemblies require repeated fastening points. It is a common hardware item installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers during equipment installation, replacement, or service panel reassembly. The black phosphate finish provides mild corrosion resistance suited to indoor cabinet environments.
