Self-Clinching Flush Fasteners – Type LF

These fasteners are ideal for applications where a thin sheet requires load-bearing threads but still must remain smooth, with no protrusions on either surface. The flush nut can be installed easily by squeezing it into a round hole in metal sheets. When the fastener is installed, both the top and the bottom of the sheet remain smooth, enhancing the functional and cosmetic qualities of the entire assembly. self-clinching flush nuts can be installed in metal sheets before bending and forming. This can provide strong threads in places which would be inaccessible for installation after chassis are formed.

Installation:
Must always be carried out using a squeeze action-nevr a shock loadPunch a hole in the metal sheet to the size recommended in our technical data tableDe-burring of the hole is not recommended.Apply pressure to the head of the fastener sufficient to totally embed the clinching ring aroundthe entire circumference and bring body in contact with the sheet.Insert fixing screw or bolt from side opposite to the fastener body.
