Description

This speed nut is a stamped metal retaining clip designed to hold screws or fasteners securely to appliance panels and trim. It provides a simple, vibration-resistant connection that keeps covers and components in place. What it does:

• Secures screws to thin sheet metal or panel edges where a threaded hole isn't available
• Provides a firm, vibration-resistant attachment for panels, trim, or small components
• Helps prevent screws from loosening or backing out during normal use
• Commonly used where a captive nut or clip is required for assembly or repair

What's included:

• One speed nut / retaining clip

Install notes:

• Disconnect power and unplug the appliance before starting any repair
• Position the clip over the panel edge or hole so the screw can engage the clip's thread; press or tap gently until seated
• Use the correct screw size and avoid over-tightening to prevent deforming the clip or striping threads
• Wear gloves and eye protection when handling sharp sheet metal edges
