Features
- More economical and easier to install than other heavy duty nuts for blind side applications. Free floating nut will compensate for poorly aligned holes. The saquare cage design keeps the nut from roatating during tightening. Cage nuts are sucessfully used in heavy duty farm machinery, rail cars, home entertainment components and heating equipment among other applications.
- A free floating square nut retained within a spring steel cage. The cage has two retaining legs on the same side of the nut, positioned 180 deg from each other, that hold the nut in place at panel edges or center panel locations.

Metallics CNN1032 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What panel thickness does the Metallics CNN1032 cage nut fit?
The CNN1032 cage nut is built for sheet metal from 0.025 to 0.063 inches thick. That covers most light-gauge enclosure, duct, and equipment panel work. Thicker plate will not let the spring steel cage legs seat properly, so for heavier stock you want a weld nut or a tapped hole instead.
2) Will a cage nut work if my mounting holes are slightly off from the equipment I'm hanging?
That's the main reason to use one. The square nut floats freely inside the spring steel cage, so it shifts to pick up a screw in a hole that isn't perfectly aligned. The square cage also stops the nut spinning while you torque the screw, so you don't need a second wrench on the blind side.
3) Can I use the Metallics CNN1032 where I can't reach the back of the panel?
Yes, that is what it is for. The cage snaps into the punched hole and holds the nut captive, so all the work happens from the accessible face. The cage carries two retaining legs on the same side of the nut, set 180 degrees apart, which lets it mount at a panel edge or out in the middle of a panel.
4) Is a black phosphate cage nut okay for outdoor or wet locations?
The CNN1032 is steel with a black phosphate coating. Phosphate is a mild corrosion and friction coating meant for dry interior service, not weather exposure or washdown. For damp, corrosive, or outdoor work ask for the stainless steel version, which Metallics offers in some sizes.
5) Is the Metallics CNN1032 cage nut Buy American or ARRA compliant?
No on both counts. The CNN1032 is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. If your project carries a domestic sourcing clause, this part will not satisfy it.
6) How hard is the Metallics CNN1032 cage nut, and will the threads strip under torque?
The cage nut runs Rockwell C44-51 and is made from SAE 1050-1065 and SAE 1018 steel, so it is heat treated well above common commercial nut hardness. That is why these hold up in farm machinery, rail cars, and heating equipment rather than just light panel trim.
7) How are Metallics 10-32 cage nuts packaged, and is there a minimum order?
CNN1032 ships as a jar of 100 pieces. The order minimum is 50 each. Other sizes and quantities are available by request if you need something outside the 10-32 jar count.
8) What trades actually use a 10-32 cage nut like the Metallics CNN1032?
Electrical, plumbing, and HVAC work are the listed field applications. Typical uses are hanging gear off light-gauge enclosure panels, duct and air handler sheet metal, and equipment frames where you only have access from one side. A jar of 100 runs 0.54 lbs per the product weight.
