Plus Nut - Steel
Brands you know and trust - Aerobolt®
The Plus Nut is a load-bearing threaded insert designed for lightweight materials such as plastics, fibreglass and composites, featuring a unique slotted body that creates a wide blind-side footprint for superior pull-out resistance without deforming the material. Offering an extended grip range, greater tolerance for oversized holes and a partially pre-bulbed design for easy installation, it provides a strong, secure and reliable fastening solution.

PlusNuts – Heavy-Duty Multi-Grip Threaded Inserts
PlusNuts are heavy-duty, multi-grip threaded inserts designed to provide strong, reliable fastening in thin, lightweight and soft materials, including sheet metal, plastics and fibreglass.
Unlike conventional nutserts, PlusNuts offer an extended grip range, allowing a single insert size to accommodate multiple material thicknesses. Their unique expanding body creates a wide backside footprint during installation, providing excellent pull-out resistance and load distribution.
PlusNuts are particularly suitable for applications involving thin sheet metal, plastics and other lightweight materials where conventional threaded inserts may cause distortion or damage.
Our range predominantly features pre-bulbed PlusNuts, designed for easier installation compared to straight-shank alternatives.
PlusNuts Advantages & Features
-
Excellent Pull-Out Resistance: The wide backside footprint distributes loads over a larger surface area, providing superior holding strength in thin and soft materials.
-
Extended Multi-Grip Range: Accommodates a variety of material thicknesses, reducing the need for multiple insert sizes.
-
Reduced Material Distortion: Designed to minimise deformation in soft plastics, fibreglass and thin sheet metal.
-
Blind-Side Installation: Can be installed where access is available from only one side of the workpiece.
-
Versatile Applications: Suitable for a wide range of lightweight materials and applications, including uneven surfaces.
-
Pre-Bulbed Design: Our predominantly pre-bulbed range allows for easier installation compared to straight-shank options.
Typical PlusNuts Applications
-
Automotive: Vehicle body panels, interior components and lightweight assemblies.
-
Truck & Trailer Manufacturing: Panel fastening, bodywork and trailer construction.
-
Plastics & Fibreglass: Secure threaded fastening in softer materials and composite components.
-
Sheet Metal Fabrication: Reliable fastening in thin-gauge metal where conventional nutserts may be unsuitable.
Plus Nut - Slotted Body Rivet Nuts For Load Bearing Applications.
Plus Nut, also known as Versa Nut or Cross Nut, is a type of fastener used to create a threaded hole in materials that are thin or where access to the backside is limited. It is commonly used when joining metal sheets or other materials that are too thin to support a tapped thread and when you seek a load bearing thread.
A Plus Nut consists of a cylindrical body with a threaded interior and a flange at one end. The exterior of the body is slotted and the other end of the Plus Nut is open to allow access for installation.
Plus Nut - How to Install Plus Nut Lab.
To install a Plus Nut, a hole is drilled or punched into the material. The Plus Nut is then inserted into the hole, and a tool is used to deform or compress the flange end. This process causes the Plus Nut to expand and grip the material securely. The threaded interior of the Plus Nut provides a reliable and durable anchor point for bolts, screws, or other fasteners.
Plus nuts are commonly used in industries such as automotive, aerospace, electronics, and manufacturing, where they provide a versatile and efficient method for adding threaded connections to thin or inaccessible materials.
