It is advisable to carry out preliminary assembly tests to determine the size that gives optimal performance in your application.
Application & Installation
Ideal for applications subject to pull forces. Not
suitable for push loads. Not having a head allows
fitting of the Crown-nut insert inside the tube
section at your own defined depth.
Press fit: gradually increase pressure on the insert
until the required depth is reached. It is highly
recommended that a sleeved punch is used to
ensure the insert is installed squarely and at the
correct depth (see below).

Info
An Insert for use inside the end of square section
The Crown-nut is a revolutionary solution for the creation of a strong reusable female thread at the end of round or
square section tubes. Crown-nut solves the issue of how to securely fix to the end of square section, guaranteeing
superior torque-out and pull-out performance. The product range offers solutions for round tube and square
section and is available in a wide range of sizes. A version is also available that is designed to accept push-fit castors.
Advantages of the Crown-nut
•
Can be installed into square section with a wide internal size tolerance range. Thanks to the flexibility of the
crown design, the same item code can be used for a range internal sizes.
•
The crown is designed so that the shape of the tube section is not altered during installation, guaranteeing the
aesthetics of the external surface.
•
Crown-nuts are easy to install and are cost effective. The press-in fit is fast and easy, enabling the elimination
of traditional and costly assembly processes such as welding and staking.
Note
After the insertion of the Crown Nut avoid heat treatments, galvanization and other heating operations that could
compromise the characteristics of the product.
