Non-Metallic Floating Nut Fasteners

These floating nut fasteners combines the best of both worlds: a lightweight, corrosion-resistant polyetherimide (Ultem®) housing with an all-metal self-locking nut element. Modeled after our extremely popular TYE2018, TYE2024 and TYE2334 Series, these fasteners are finding quick acceptance throughout the aircraft interior marketplace. A TYE4334 fastener used in a ½" (12.7 mm) panel is approximately 50% lighter than its TYE2334 steel or cres housing counterpart, and about 40% lighter than the aluminum housing variant. Tensile and shear values for the TYE4334 fasteners are similar to their TYE2334 all-metal counterparts.
