Nuts
Weld Nut Retainers
A weld nut retainer holds a nut in a fixed position on a panel so it can be welded or bolted in place during assembly. The retainer keeps the nut aligned while the mating bolt is driven.
Used in sheet-metal assemblies where a nut must be fixed and aligned for blind bolting, such as appliance panels and enclosures. Bought by sheet-metal fabricators.
