U-nut Rittal 4179.000, stainless steel, M6 thread, pack of 20

Rittal 4179.000 U-nut in stainless steel provides a compact, edge-mounted threaded point for M6 screws. Supplied in a pack of 20, this U-nut is intended for secure fastening of panels, profiles and thin-walled components where a conventional tapped hole is impractical. The stainless steel construction offers corrosion resistance and mechanical stability suitable for use in electrical enclosures, cabinets and industrial assemblies.

Advantages

The U-nut design allows quick installation by sliding the clip onto the sheet edge, creating a reliable M6 thread without additional drilling or welding. Stainless steel material ensures enhanced resistance to corrosion and maintains thread integrity under repeated assembly and disassembly. The compact form factor conserves space and simplifies alignment during assembly operations.

Key specifications

How to use

Position the U-nut so the open channel of the clip engages the panel or profile edge, then slide it along until the threaded hole aligns with the fixing position. Insert an M6 screw through the mating part and tighten to the required torque for the application, observing any torque limits recommended for stainless steel fasteners and the thickness of the sheet material. For repeated service operations, verify thread condition and replace damaged clips to maintain secure fastening.

Recommendations

Ensure the sheet edge thickness and geometry are compatible with the U-nut clip before installation. Use appropriate M6 stainless or compatible screws and avoid over-torquing; consult equipment assembly guidelines for recommended torque values. For installations in corrosive or high-humidity environments, confirm material compatibility and consider periodic inspection of fastenings.
