INSTALLATION(1)
1. Prepare properly sized mounting hole in sheet. Do not perform any secondary operations such as deburring.
2. Place fastener into the anvil hole and place the mounting hole over the shank of the fastener as shown in diagram.
3. With installation punch and anvil surfaces parallel, apply squeezing force until the head of the nut comes into contact with
the sheet material.

(1) For best results, we recommend using the installation punch and anvil shown. Deviations from recommended installation tooling may result
in sheet distortion and reduced performance.
NOTE: Variations in hole preparation, installation tooling, installation force, and sheet material type, thickness, and hardness will affect both
performance and tooling life.

(1) Published installation forces are for general reference. Actual set-up and confirmation of complete installation should be made by
observing proper seating of fastener as described in the installation steps. Other performance values reported are averages when
all proper installation parameters and procedures are followed. Variations in mounting hole size, sheet material, and installation
procedure may affect performance. Performance testing this product in your application is recommended. We will be happy to provide
technical assistance and/or samples for this purpose.
(2) Head size is adequate to ensure failure in threaded area when tested with industry standard tensile bushing diameter.
(3) Tightening torque shown will induce preload of 70% of nut min axial strength with K or nut factor is equal to 0.20. In some applications tight-
ening torque may need to be adjusted based on the actual K value. All tightening torques shown are based on 180 ksi/ Property Class 12.9
screws. For lower strength screws the tightening torque is proportionately less. For example, for 120 ksi screws, torque is 67% value shown.
For 900 MPa screws (Property Class 9.8) torque value is 74% of value shown.
(4) Installation controlled by proper cavity depth in punch.
