Strength and options.
Point by point.

Quick installation process

The KAPTI NUT® is pressed through the panel forming a tapered flange on the back. This is done in a single stroke press operation which is quick and easy.

Installed as part of the press process operation

The KAPTI NUT® can be installed simultaneously combined with other operations like folding or punching in the same press process operation.

Structural captive threaded fastener

The tapered flange formed during the installation makes the panel rigid and contributes to the overall performance of the KAPTI NUT® which can be used on either side.

Multiple setting in a single operation

Several KAPTI NUT® fasteners can be installed in a single operation.

Environmentally friendly

The installation process creates no fumes or heat and needs a minimum of electrical power consumption.
