Atlas SpinTite blind threaded inserts are designed for use in "blind" attachment applications, where only one side of a workpiece is accessible for fastener installation and final component assembly.

Atlas SpinTite blind threaded inserts are designed for use in "blind" attachment applications, where only one side of a workpiece is accessible for fastener installation and final component assembly.

These aluminium, brass, steel and stainless-steel threaded inserts can serve as a practical alternative to tapped holes, weld nuts, rivets, and self-drilling or tapping screws.

Installed from the accessible "front" side of a workpiece, Atlas SpinTite blind threaded inserts can be used in panels as thin as 0.51mm.

Their use eliminates any need for additional hardware beyond a mating screw to complete final component assembly.

They can be installed permanently anywhere and at any stage in the shop or field using a handheld portable tool.

Atlas SpinTite inserts will satisfy most "blind" applications where permanently installed threads are required.

Types include half-hex shank low-profile head, rib-wall minimised-profile head, rib-wall low-profile head, thin-wall low-profile head, and swaging low-profile head.

Available unified and metric thread sizes range from 6-32 to 1/2-16 and M4 to M10.

These fasteners can satisfy countless attachment applications ranging from aircraft seat trays and automobile mirrors to electronics cabinetry hardware and appliance hinges, as well as closed-structure materials with minimum backside clearance, such as hydroformed tubing.
