Orbit Industries SNR-3816 Steel Spring Nut 3/8-16 Strut

Product Description

The ORBIT INDUSTRIES SNR-3816 is a steel regular spring nut designed for use inside strut channel systems. The spring-loaded design allows the nut to seat firmly against the internal edges of the channel, holding it in position during and after installation. It accepts 3/8 inch-16 threaded rod or bolts, making it a standard fastener for suspending or mounting electrical components. Electricians and electrical contractors use this fitting as part of strut-based support assemblies in commercial and residential electrical work.

This spring nut is used inside standard strut channel to mount or hang outlet boxes, light fixtures, and other electrical devices via 3/8 inch-16 threaded rod or bolt connections. It is suited for ceiling, wall, and overhead support applications where a secure, adjustable connection to strut channel is required. The spring mechanism eliminates the need for separate locking hardware by using channel edge contact to maintain position under load.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed electricians as part of strut channel support assemblies. De-energize all circuits in the work area before mounting electrical devices to the strut system. Insert the spring nut into the channel slot and rotate to lock against the channel edges before threading the rod or bolt through. Follow applicable NEC requirements for supporting electrical raceways, boxes, and fixtures.
