Cage nuts are manufactured with a stainless steel or spring steel outer shell and a floating encapsulated square nut made from either steel or stainless steel. The combinations are usually :- steel cage/steel nut, stainless cage/steel nut or stainless cage/stainless nut.
Features :
They are easily installed using pliers to close the 'ears' of the cage. Releasing the 'ears' allows them to expand and grip the panel with access from only one side of the panel (or blindside).
They are suitable to fit into either square or rectangular holes and eliminate the need for welding, clinching or staking.
