Product Description
Metric Zinc Plated Steel Wedge Nuts – M6, M8 and M10
These steel wedge nuts, also known as V nuts, provide a threaded fixing point within compatible dovetail-shaped channels in profiled steel decking. They are inserted into the channel and rotated into their seating position to accept a matching bolt or threaded rod.
Available with M6, M8 or M10 internal threads, all three sizes share the same external dimensions. The zinc plated finish helps protect the steel against corrosion.

Typical Applications
Used to create suspension points beneath compatible profiled steel decking for threaded rod and building services supports, subject to the decking system's installation and load requirements.
Compatibility and Installation
Check the exact decking profile and channel dimensions before installation. Insert the nut into the channel and rotate it into the correct seating position, ensuring the wedge engages securely with the channel. Fit a matching bolt or threaded rod with adequate thread engagement.
Use the installation method, tightening requirements and permissible loads specified for the complete decking fixing system. Thread size alone does not establish the load capacity or compatibility of the fixing.
Ordering
Select M6, M8 or M10 and the required pack quantity from the available options. Check the external wedge dimensions against the intended decking channel before ordering.
