Made from spring steel with a black phosphate finish, this clip nut accepts a number 8 screw and accommodates material thicknesses from 0.125 inches to 0.250 inches. The spring steel construction provides reliable retention force and resists backing out under vibration. The black phosphate coating offers a base level of corrosion resistance. This type of fastener is commonly installed by HVAC sheet metal technicians, equipment assemblers, and electrical enclosure fabricators during panel assembly and service work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStandard U nuts like the 20582 are used wherever a captive threaded fastener is needed on a panel edge or flange. Typical applications include HVAC cabinet assembly, electrical enclosure construction, automotive trim attachment, and general sheet metal fabrication. The clip slides onto the panel edge, allowing a screw to be driven from the face side without a secondary nut or back access. Sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 100 units, making this part suitable for production line restocking or service fleet inventory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAccepts number 8 screws for secure panel fastening\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpring steel construction delivers consistent clip retention and vibration resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaterial thickness range of 0.125 to 0.250 inches covers common sheet metal gauges\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack phosphate finish provides corrosion resistance and a uniform appearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStandard U nut profile fits panel edges and flanges without back access\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold in increments of 100 for production and service inventory use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard replacement or production U nut for sheet metal panels, enclosures, and fabricated assemblies using number 8 screws with material thickness between 0.125 and 0.250 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation requires no tools  -  slide the U nut onto the panel edge or flange before driving the screw. Confirm material thickness falls within the 0.125 to 0.250 inch range before installation to ensure proper spring tension and thread engagement. When used in electrical enclosures, follow NEC guidelines for panel assembly and ensure the enclosure is de-energized before working inside. Do not force the clip onto material outside its rated thickness range, as this will reduce retention force.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScrew Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eU Nut Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spring Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\/Coating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black Phosphate\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Material Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Material Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.250 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSystem of Measurement\u003c\/strong\u003e: Inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: AU-VE-CO PRODUCTS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 20582\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"AU-VE-CO PRODUCTS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51996620751154,"sku":"20582","price":60.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/39a9368c0d0dcf72f435bd0c66c3569b.jpg?v=1789993521","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/au-ve-co-products-20582-standard-u-nut-8-screw","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
