Value Collection 82-35-308-55-PX Quarter Turn Stud Receptacle

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 82-35-308-55-PX is a press-in quarter turn stud receptacle designed for quick-access panel fastening applications. Manufactured from steel with a zinc plated finish, this receptacle provides corrosion resistance in light industrial and commercial enclosure environments. It belongs to the Medium No. 82 stud series, a widely used standard in panel assembly and sheet metal fabrication. Installation requires no threading — the receptacle presses directly into a prepared hole in the panel substrate, accepting a quarter turn stud for tool-free access during service. Maintenance technicians, panel fabricators, and HVAC enclosure assemblers are the primary installers of this hardware.

This receptacle is suited for use in sheet metal panels, HVAC equipment enclosures, electrical cabinets, and similar light-gauge assemblies where repeated access is required. The quarter turn mechanism allows fast panel removal without loose hardware. The zinc plated steel construction holds up in indoor and sheltered outdoor environments. It is compatible with Medium No. 82 series quarter turn studs and is installed as part of a two-piece fastening system — receptacle pressed into the stationary panel, stud installed in the removable panel or door.

Key Features

• Press-in installation — no threading or adhesive required during assembly
• Quarter turn engagement for fast, tool-free panel access
• Steel construction with zinc plated finish for corrosion resistance
• Medium No. 82 stud series sizing for broad compatibility with standard quarter turn hardware
• Compact receptacle format suits thin sheet metal panel applications

Compatibility

Designed for use with Medium No. 82 series quarter turn studs in press-in panel receptacle applications. Suitable for light-gauge sheet metal panels and enclosure assemblies requiring quarter turn fastening systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by pressing the receptacle into a punched or drilled hole sized to the No. 82 series specification in the stationary panel. Ensure the panel substrate thickness is within the acceptable range for the press-in retention feature before assembly. No special tools are required for stud engagement during service, but a press tool or arbor press is recommended for clean receptacle installation to avoid deforming the panel. Always de-energize any associated electrical enclosure before servicing panels secured with quarter turn fasteners.
