Description

Heavy-Duty Structural Anchoring: IM4S / P1.4-20 / H8.5

The IM4S (4-Crown) Keep-Nut™ is engineered for maximum pull-out strength in demanding structural applications. Featuring four elastic load-bearing crowns and an 8.5mm embedment depth, this heavy-duty insert delivers nearly 800 lbs of pull-out resistance per anchor.

Requiring a minimum surface thickness of 11.0mm, it is the premier choice for natural granite, heavy architectural cladding, heavy-duty commercial furniture, and thick solid surface installations. Simply drill a 12mm diameter hole to a depth of 9.0mm, press the insert in, and it is instantly ready to bear a load—no epoxy required.

Need a different embedment depth?

If your panel is less than 11mm thick, the 4-crown insert will protrude or cause surface cracking. If you need even deeper structural anchoring, explore our other 1/4-20 sizes:

➜ Shop Structural 4-Crown (15.5mm Depth)

Why Choose the 4-Crown IM4S?

  • Maximum Pull-Out Strength: Designed specifically for thick, heavy materials like 2cm/3cm Granite and heavy architectural facades.
  • No Adhesives Required: Eliminates curing time and messy resin application.
  • Smart Load Distribution: The four elastic crowns aggressively grip the material wall safely spreading immense tensile loads without failing.

Quick Installation

  1. Drill: Mill a 12mm diameter blind hole to exactly 9.0mm 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.
