Value Collection 1507 U Nut M10x1.50 Spring Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1507 is a metric U nut with an extruded tapped hole, designed for M10x1.50 threaded fasteners. This spring steel U nut clips onto panel edges or sheet metal flanges, providing a captive threaded anchor point without requiring a pre-drilled and tapped hole. It accepts material thickness from 1.5 to 5.5mm and features an 18.5mm center-to-edge dimension. The spring steel construction delivers the retention force needed to hold the nut in position during assembly. Technicians and assemblers working on HVAC cabinets, electrical enclosures, and sheet metal assemblies rely on this style of nut for fast, tool-free positioning.

This U nut is suited for light-gauge sheet metal applications common in residential and commercial HVAC unit assembly, electrical panel fabrication, and industrial equipment manufacturing. The extruded tapped hole provides a stronger thread engagement than a stamped thread form, making it appropriate for applications where fastener re-use or higher clamp loads are expected. It is installed by hand onto a panel edge prior to fastener insertion, simplifying line assembly and field service alike.

Key Features

• Extruded tapped hole provides stronger thread engagement than stamped alternatives
• Accepts M10x1.50 metric screws
• Material thickness range of 1.5 to 5.5mm for versatile fitment on light-gauge panels
• 18.5mm center-to-edge dimension for consistent positioning
• Spring steel construction delivers reliable panel retention force
• Metric measurement system for use with ISO-standard fastener assemblies

Compatibility

Designed for use with M10x1.50 metric screws on sheet metal panels or flanges ranging from 1.5 to 5.5mm thick, typical of HVAC equipment cabinets, electrical enclosures, and light-gauge fabricated assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no tools — the U nut clips onto the panel edge by hand before the mating screw is driven. Ensure the panel edge thickness falls within the 1.5 to 5.5mm specified range to maintain proper spring retention. When used in electrical enclosures, follow applicable NEC guidelines for fastener and enclosure assembly. Do not over-torque the mating screw, as excess force can distort the spring steel tabs and reduce retention.
