Captured Nuts!

Looking for source of supply for the captured nuts in the tub. They are in place to bolt down floor access covers.
Thanks!

I was able to find them at a good hardware store when I lived in Dallas. Otherwise, if you go to http://www.mcmaster.com and do a search on "panel nut retainers", it should get you to a page that has the "cage style" ones which look like the ones I used. I don't remember the size, but you should be able to measure the holes in the panel and also determine the bolt size. If you find some, make sure you post it here for future searches.

 

Yes I bought mine from mc master carr they have the best price and work perfect. I needed to replace fourteen of mine. I will look up the part # at work for you next week and post it.

I ordered up some Square Style Cage Clip-On Nut 1/4"-20 Size, for .125"-.156" Thick Panel, Packs of 5, from McMaster-Carr, ($6.51 plus shipping for 5 pack). These are the wrong ones! You would need to order the nuts for panels .025"-.063", sorry for the confusion.
Should do the trick! Thanks for the info.

Those are for 1/8 inch thick steel panel. I used the .025" ~.063" ones.
I would check them out if I was you.

Sheet metal gage thicknesses: 0.025 is 23 gage; 0.065 is 16 gage; 0.120 is 11 gage; and .165 is 8 gage. I think that Shawn has it right.

 

Yea I screwed up, they are for 1/8 inch, I guess I pulled the buy trigger before I thought, (It happens sometimes when I get exited about buying some thing on line!). I snapped them in and they are loose, but not to worry a pair of needle nose plyers crimpted them in nicely. The correct buy would be the ones you bought, I don't know the part# for the correct ones (only the ones I bought!). Thanks for setting me straight!
