Product Description
Metric Self Colour Steel Square Weld Nuts – DIN 928
These DIN 928 metric square weld nuts provide a permanent threaded fixing point in steel sheet and fabricated components. Manufactured from uncoated self colour steel, they are designed for welding onto compatible steel workpieces.
The square body incorporates welding projections that hold the nut away from the mating surface before welding and concentrate contact during projection welding. Once securely welded into position, the nut allows a matching bolt or set screw to be fitted without holding a loose nut behind the component.

Typical Applications
- Sheet metal fabrication and steel enclosures.
- Brackets, panels and fabricated frames.
- Machinery housings and equipment assemblies.
- Components requiring a permanent captive threaded fixing.
Selecting Your Weld Nuts
Select the required thread size and pack quantity from the available options. Match the nut to the diameter and pitch of your bolt or set screw, and allow sufficient clearance for the square body.
Prepare the mating surfaces and use a welding procedure suitable for the workpiece material and thickness. Keep the internal thread clear of weld spatter and check that the matching fastener runs freely after installation.
The self colour finish has no plated corrosion protection. Apply a suitable protective finish after welding where required by the application.
