MS21060 Floating Nut Plate, A286 Stainless

These lightweight, low-profile plates are an excellent way to install a captive nut behind a panel. The floating nut in these nut plates allows for some misalignment in assembly. Simply rivet the plate to the back of the stationary panel using pop rivets or solid rivets. Material is A286 stainless steel (sometimes specified as "corrosion resistant steel" or "CRES"), with silver-plated nuts. Temperature rating to 800°F. Sold indvidually; rivets sold separately.

* Use 3/32" pop rivets or NAS1097 Solid Rivets to mount the -06 through -4 size plates.

Note: We recommend a drop of oil on the threads the first time a screw is installed in these self-locking nutplates. This is especially important in the smaller thread sizes. We have seen heads twisted off of screws due to the high installation torque even though the nutplates are coated with a solid lubricant. The initial insertion polishes the threads. This slightly lowers the torque during subsequent insertions.
