Self-Clinching Nuts - Types SP - Unified, specifically part number SP-832-2, are designed for permanent installation in stainless steel sheets as thin as 0.030 inches (0.8 mm). These fasteners are made from specially hardened stainless steel, ensuring they are harder than the host material for reliable performance. They provide strong load-bearing internal threads and are suitable for applications requiring corrosion resistance, similar to that of 300 series stainless steel. The installation process leaves the reverse side of the sheet flush and smooth, making them ideal for applications where aesthetics and functionality are important. Proper installation techniques are critical to avoid issues such as thread binding, particularly in stainless steel materials.
Type SP, PEM 300® nuts provide strong load-bearing threads in stainless steel sheets as thin as .030”.
Type SP is recommended for use in steel or aluminum sheets HRB (Rockwell “B” scale) 90 or less and HB (Hardness Brinell) 185 or less.
For SP type products that have a “single ring” marking on the barrel, please refer to PEM® bulletin CL for installation information.
