Deform-Nut® TC/SC1 — Threaded Anchors

This two-piece insert adds strong, reusable threads to honeycomb and composite panels. A flanged rivet-nut grips the top skin; a threaded insert is adhesive-bonded into the core and back skin to resist spin-out and pull-through.

Installation — 3 Simple Steps

Note: Full strength depends on adhesive selection, temperature, and joint design.

1) Set the flange

Drill a single blind hole and collapse the TC body with standard rivet-nut tooling to anchor the top skin.


Step 1 — Insert & set

2) Inject adhesive

Fill through the rivet-nut to wet the core & back skin. Recommended: Ultralok 300 MMA for fast, high-strength potting.


Step 2 — Adhesive injection

3) Drive the insert

Thread in the SC1 insert until it lands on the back skin, displacing adhesive into the structure for max strength.


Step 3 — Insert seats to back skin
