Panel nuts, also known as hex panel nuts, are thin fasteners with a large central hole, designed for use in lightweight fastening applications. These nuts are commonly used in plumbing, electrical, and panel assembly applications where a secure yet low-profile fastening solution is needed.
Thin Profile: The slim design allows for a flush fit, making them ideal for applications where space is limited.
Large Central Hole: Accommodates larger pipe or conduit diameters, ensuring a secure fit.
Hex Shape: The hexagonal design allows for easy installation and removal with standard tools, providing a secure grip and efficient torque application.
Available Sizes of Panel Nuts:
1/8-27: Suitable for applications requiring a smaller diameter hole.
3/8-32: Offers a medium-sized option for various lightweight fastening needs.
15/32-32: Provides a larger diameter hole for accommodating bigger pipes or conduits.
Applications of Panel Nuts:
Plumbing: Ideal for securing pipes and fittings in plumbing systems, ensuring a tight and secure connection.
Electrical: Used to fasten conduits and cables in electrical panel assemblies, providing a reliable and low-profile solution.
Panel Assembly: Suitable for securing components in lightweight panels, ensuring stability without adding bulk.
Benefits of Panel Nuts:
Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of lightweight fastening applications in plumbing, electrical, and panel assembly.
Ease of Use: The hexagonal design allows for easy installation and removal with standard wrenches or tools.
Space Efficiency: The thin profile makes these nuts ideal for applications where space is at a premium.
