Gibson Stainless Specialty 5912 Spring Nut 5/16 in Type 316 Ss

Product Description

The GIBSON STAINLESS SPECIALTY 5912 is a 5/16 inch Type 316 stainless steel spring nut designed for use in strut channel systems. The channel nut body is fabricated from Type 316 stainless steel for strong corrosion resistance, while the integrated spring is made from Type 302 stainless steel to maintain consistent clamping force. This hardware secures and grips components within a strut assembly, allowing the nut to be inserted, repositioned, and locked along the channel without special tooling. It is well suited for mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC tradespeople who work with strut support systems in corrosive or outdoor environments.

This spring nut is intended for use in standard strut channel framing systems where a 5/16-18 threaded fastener connection is required. Its 316 SS construction makes it appropriate for coastal, chemical, or wet environments where carbon steel hardware would corrode prematurely. Typical applications include pipe hangers, conduit supports, equipment mounting, and unistrut-style framing in commercial and industrial installations.

Key Features

• Channel nut body in Type 316 stainless steel for high corrosion resistance
• Type 302 stainless steel spring maintains consistent grip and positioning in the channel
• 5/16-18 thread size for compatibility with standard strut hardware
• Allows tool-free insertion and repositioning along the strut channel before final tightening
• 100% Made in USA

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard strut channel framing systems requiring a 5/16-18 threaded connection. Consult system specifications to confirm channel slot dimensions before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by pipefitters, electricians, plumbers, or HVAC mechanics working with strut support systems. Insert the nut at an angle into the channel slot, rotate to engage the spring, and position as needed before driving the fastener. Ensure the channel is properly supported and secured before loading. Follow applicable mechanical and structural codes for the installation environment.
