Description

Medium-Duty Panel Anchoring: IM2S / P1.4-20 / H6

The IM2S (2-Crown) Keep-Nut™ is the most widely used starting point for architectural cladding, furniture, and undermount sink installations. Engineered for medium-duty loads, it provides an exceptional balance of high pull-out strength (over 560 lbs) with a shallow 6.5mm embedment depth.

Requiring a minimum surface thickness of just 8.5mm, it is the industry standard for 10mm-12mm porcelain, sintered stone (like Dekton), solid surface, and quartz. Installation is completely epoxy-free. Simply drill a 12mm diameter hole to a depth of 6.5mm, press the insert in, and it is instantly ready to bear a load.

Need a different embedment depth?

If your panel is exceptionally thin, or you require heavy-duty structural anchoring, select an alternative 1/4-20 insert below:

➜ Shop 1-Crown (5.5mm Depth)
➜ Shop 4-Crown (8.5mm Depth)
➜ Shop 2×2 Crown (11.5mm Depth)
➜ Shop 4-Crown (15.5mm Depth)

Why Choose the 2-Crown IM2S?

  • The “Goldilocks” Anchor: The perfect middle-ground between the ultra-shallow 1-crown and the deep-embedding 4-crown. Ideal for 1cm and 1.2cm materials.
  • No Adhesives Required: Eliminates curing time and messy resin application.
  • Smart Load Distribution: The double elastic crowns spread the load safely into the parent material, preventing cracking in brittle substrates like porcelain and quartz.

Quick Installation

  1. Drill: Mill a 12mm diameter blind hole to exactly 6.5mm deep (+1.0mm tolerance).
  2. Verify: Clear the hole of debris and verify depth.
  3. Insert: Press the KEEP-NUT™ in until completely flush.
  4. Fasten: Thread your 1/4-20 bolt. Tensile load expands the crowns, anchoring it permanently.
