Au-ve-co Products 22799 Push Nut 3/8 Inch Screw

Product Description

The AU-VE-CO PRODUCTS 22799 is a black push nut designed for use with 3/8 inch threaded fasteners. Push nuts are one-piece, speed-retention fasteners that press onto a screw or stud shank and lock in place using internal teeth, eliminating the need for tools during installation. This type of hardware is commonly used in HVAC equipment, appliance assemblies, and light mechanical applications where a low-profile, vibration-resistant nut retainer is required. Weighing 0.01 pounds, the 22799 is a compact, lightweight component suited for volume use in production or field service environments.

This push nut is used wherever threaded fasteners need a quick, secure retention method without wrench access. Typical applications include panel attachment points, fan blade hubs, and component mounting in HVAC cabinets, refrigeration equipment, and appliance housings. The black finish provides a clean appearance in visible assemblies. This part is sold individually but is intended for use in quantities consistent with a minimum order quantity of 100 units, making it appropriate for shop stock or service fleet replenishment.

Installation Notes

Push nuts are installed by hand or with light pressure from a flat tool pressed evenly against the nut face. Ensure the mating screw or stud shank is free of burrs or damage before installation to allow the nut to seat fully. Once pressed on, push nuts are not designed for repeated removal and reuse. No special certifications or trade license requirements apply, though installation should follow the equipment manufacturer's assembly guidelines.
