Keep-Nut? is a press-in threaded insert that utilises a mechanical anchoring feature, to provide permanent threads in panels made of marble, granite or other stones, as well as composites, carbon, Corian?, Hi-Macs? HPL, glass and others solid surface materials.Keep-Nut is manufactured in stainless steel and consists of a threaded bush, a set of toothed spring washers (crowns), and a plastic ring holding the parts together. Available in different lengths, with or without flange, to fit several different panel thicknesses, Keep-Nut can be installed quickly since the user simply needs to drill the material with the correct hole diameter and press-in the insert. Keep-Nut can also be customised with different versions and sizes, to meet specific customer requirements.The Keep-Nut insert is specifically developed to fasten ventilated fa?ades, wall-coverings, décor and interiors, furniture, kitchen and sanitary elements, as well as a variety of other applications.Keep-Nut inserts have several advantages compared to other fasteners for stone and solid materials. The preparation needed is just a cylindrical hole – an undercut hole is not required – which means that standard tools can be used. In addition, assembly by pressure is quick and easy and does not require use of any additional resins or adhesives. Keep-Nut inserts can be used for hidden assemblies without any protruding parts, facilitating the handling and installation of a variety of materials.
