Formed from spring steel with a black phosphate finish, this clip-style fastener snaps onto panel edges and sheet metal flanges to provide a captive threaded anchor point without requiring a weld nut or tapped hole. It accepts material thickness ranging from 0.045 to 0.062 inches and is measured 9\/16 inches from center to edge. HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers reach for U nuts like this when assembling enclosures, duct panels, equipment cabinets, and access doors where back-side access is limited.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 5197 fits typical light-gauge sheet metal applications found throughout residential and commercial HVAC equipment, electrical enclosures, and general sheet metal assemblies. It is well suited for production-line panel assembly, field service replacement of stripped or missing fastener points, and anywhere a removable 10-24 threaded anchor is needed on thin-gauge steel flanges or tracks. The black phosphate coating provides moderate corrosion resistance for indoor service environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAccepts 10-24 screw thread for a secure, repeatable thread engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpring steel construction provides consistent clip tension across compatible material thicknesses\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaterial thickness range of 0.045 to 0.062 inches suits standard light-gauge sheet metal panels\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e9\/16 inch center-to-edge dimension for consistent positioning on panel flanges\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack phosphate finish resists oxidation in indoor service conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo welding or tapping required  -  clips directly onto panel edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with 10-24 screws on light-gauge sheet metal panels and flanges with a thickness between 0.045 and 0.062 inches.

Verify panel material thickness falls within the 0.045 to 0.062 inch range before installation to ensure proper clip retention. De-energize all electrical equipment before accessing internal panels or enclosures. Replace any U nut that shows distortion, loss of spring tension, or corrosion that could compromise thread engagement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScrew Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10-24\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\u003eCenter to Edge\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Material Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.045 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Material Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.062 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: 5197\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"AU-VE-CO PRODUCTS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51985649041714,"sku":"5197","price":3809.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/b56990c5b6c519b6a177dd6a1d465afa.jpg?v=1789985630","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/au-ve-co-products-5197-standard-u-nut-10-24-spring-steel","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
