Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a push-on nut?
A: A push-on nut - also called a speed nut or Tinnerman nut - is a spring-steel fastener that snaps onto a smooth or threaded stud without tools, providing quick assembly and disassembly.
Q: How does a push-on nut work?
A: Push-on nuts grip the stud by spring tension from their internal prongs or tabs. They are pressed onto a 1/4 in. diameter shaft or stud by hand or with light tool pressure.
Q: Which gate operator models use the 2400-169 nut?
A: The 2400-169 is used in Linear SLC, SLR, SLD, VS-GSLG, and HSLG slide gate operator assemblies, typically to retain covers, guards, or linkage components onto studs or pins.
Q: Can push-on nuts be reused after removal?
A: Push-on nuts are generally considered single-use fasteners. They can be removed but may lose clamping force after removal and are best replaced with a new nut when servicing.
Q: Is this a standard hardware item I can buy locally?
A: Yes, 1/4 in. push-on nuts are standard industrial fasteners available from hardware and fastener suppliers. Confirm the stud diameter and nut profile match before substituting.
