Specialinsert Flower-Nut 1/4-20 Imperial Threaded Insert

Description

Specialinsert Flower-Nut 1/4-20 Imperial Threaded Insert is a Flower-Nut insert for creating a threaded anchor in plastic, composite, soft laminate, brittle, boxed, or tubular materials. The insert deforms into a flower shape during setting so the backside locks into the receiving material.

Flower-Nut Insert Benefits

• Deformation style creates a mechanical hold in softer or more fragile materials.
• Threaded insert design gives the assembly a reusable machine-screw connection.
• Zinc plated steel construction is used for the standard Flower-Nut family.
• Useful on sheet materials, boxed sections, and non-metal panels where access may be limited.
• Helps avoid loose through-bolts when the assembly needs a captive threaded point.

Use this insert when a panel needs a threaded fixing point but the material is not a good match for welding or a conventional nut. The hole, grip range, thread, and setting tool must match the insert style. During installation, the body deforms behind the panel to distribute load across the material instead of relying only on a thin hole edge.

Common Applications for Flower-Nut Insert

• Threaded fastening in plastic sheets and soft laminate panels.
• Composite, resin, or brittle material assemblies that need a captive thread.
• Boxed or tubular sections where backside access is limited after assembly.
• Sign, display, transportation, and light manufacturing hardware mounting.
• Repair or retrofit work where a reusable 1/4-20 thread is needed.

Compatible Materials and Installation Notes

• Use on boxed and tubular sections, sheet metal, non-metal sheet, plastic material, brittle material, and similar receiving materials when the product size fits.
• Set with the appropriate manual, pneumatic, oleopneumatic, or electric tool for the insert family.
• Confirm hole size, material thickness, and thread requirement before installing on finished parts.
• Test sample parts before production release to verify pullout and seating behavior.
