Product Information
The NVENT CADDY ROD LOCK SPRING STEEL STRUT NUT is a product that combines the unique properties of Spring Steel and CADDY push-to-install technology. It is designed to provide a quick and secure installation of threaded rods or bolts. The strut nut can be used with a hex nut on threaded rods for fast installation of prefabricated trapeze systems or with a truss head bolt for fast wall mounting of electrical boxes and other services.

Product Usage Instructions
Installation

  1. Ensure you have the appropriate length of bolt for the QCN strut nut.

  3. Insert the QCN strut nut into the slot hole or the strut channel, ensuring it is securely in place.
  4. Thread the longer bolt through the QCN strut nut and tighten using a suitable tool until the desired torque of 10 in-lb is reached.

Usage

  • If used for prefabricated trapeze systems, attach a hex nut to the threaded rod and secure it using the QCN strut nut.
  • If mounting electrical boxes or other services on walls, use a truss head bolt and secure it using the QCN strut nut.
