What is a Rubber Well Nut and How is it Used Fasteners Retainers

I get a lot of questions from my Buyers as to what a well nut is and how do you use or insert it..This video will cover all of the basic details,,
Buy online www.txdashcovers.com/nuha.html
We are using a 10-24 Thread Rubber well nut with a brass insert from TXDashcovers.com..We are also using a 10-24 thread screw that is 1" long and attaching 2 pieces of 1/8" steel flat bar
This is basically an expanding nut that can be used for many applications, to include Kayaks Boats Marine Industrial, Motorcycle Automotive Industrial and much more

Thank you! I've been trying to figure out how to reattach some trim on an old pickup and for the life of me, I couldn't find out what had been there or what it was called until I found this. Cheers!

Thanks for the video! Looking for something to put a new handle on my sons kayak, did not want to rivet one on. You are a good explain-er you would be a good teacher.!

[@LarrySbrusch]

Thank you. Appreciate the comment

It is amazing what people come up with. I bought some of these to use as spacers for cabinet knobs (to extend them from the door a bit more). Should work fine for my task, but I was curious what their real purpose was so thank you for showing this.

[@LarrySbrusch]

Thank you.appreciate the comment

[@angieedamame1]

To use in place of a rivet when adding a new handle to your kayak.

This is a life saver. I'm installing solar panels on my camper and I can't find anything solid to screw the mounts into. This will make it so I can hold them down securely to my roof without finding a rafter/stud.

Similar function as a pop rivet. Thanks!

I fancy this has an application for sound/ vibration isolation: Have only a 10mm thick wood baseboard to fix to (M5.) I cannot go right through. Wish list; something similar that would just expand into the shallow hole.: stay fixed in. ( glue it in if I must) Thus: device ( electric motor assembly etc) is easily removable and re fixed ( transport)

[@LarrySbrusch]

Yes it would help isolate vibration

[@race-all]

So are these reusable? It seems like it would be.

[@natanmortenfeld5813]

i thought the well nut should stay in place once you pull out the bolt ... isn't it the purpose of the well nut ?

[@chandanbn8359]

Hi, This is an interesting concept and i am curious to know the material used to mount. can you tell me what type of rubber is it?? thank you in advance Kind regards Chandan

[@LarrySbrusch]

The packaging really doesn't give information related to that. But it is a soft durable pliable rubber is all I can tell you.Thanks for checking out my video's

What do u recommend for a well nut that is spinning and u can't get to it to hold it?

[@LarrySbrusch]

It depends where it’s at or how it’s installed. That can be a tough one.if you can grind the top off and knock it inside. Might be a good starting point

[@bamacfa3130102]

What size hole did you drill for the 10 24 well nut to fit in

[@LarrySbrusch]

0.375” hole or just a little bigger

[@crankbait09]

I am currently using well nuts on my kayak due to the fact that I can't access the hull. When screwing this in by hand, and not being able to see the hull side, how do you know when they are tight enough, or to tight when you cant see the compressed part? Also, if I remove the screw in the well nut (after a year), can they be reused or do I need to replace with new? great video, thank you

[@LarrySbrusch]

It is a little touch..You have to learn to fill the pressure and know when to stop. Find you a piece of material that is similar and practice in it first, would be my suggestion..Those of us that use these frequently.. know what that point is by practice..

[@crankbait09]

@@LarrySbrusch alright thank you. Can I assume you can reuse the well nut once released?

[@LarrySbrusch]

@@crankbait09 I have reused them in many cases as long as they are not expanded or stretched out too far

[@franciscoayon9470]

You can always use somethign that tells you the torque you using,install sum like he did in the video and see about much much torque you using to fully set them,then so later when you do it like in a kayak or somewhere where you cant see it you got an idea that its set good,thats something i would do,its a feelign but also know you relying on the torque thing,takes 15 to get it full it set,maybe gl 16,hopefully get what i mean

[@ernestohernandezvigil6033]

Hi. How you doing? I live in Mexico. Os realy nice. But you know where can I get. This plastic Rivet nut. Please If you have informaron can you send it

We have some listed on our website at txdashcovers.com

[@everybodyzuncle5792]

Hello What would happen if the well nuts are too long?

[@LarrySbrusch]

They will not set in properly and may not work the way they should

[@everybodyzuncle5792]

If a hole is already premade in say a van can I put a well nut in it? I’m tryna hang some cabinets in my van and am trying to see what my options are. Thanks for your reply

[@LarrySbrusch]

@@everybodyzuncle5792 If you could find the correct size it might work, but not sure how long it would last .depends how much weight you put in it. I would use nutserts instead..they will not hardly come out at all and hold a lot of weight based on bolt or screw size

[@everybodyzuncle5792]

Is there another name for nutserts? Tried looking online on Home Depot can’t find them

[@rickloudermilk6351]
