WHY CHOOSE KEEP-NUT®

11

FAST AND EASY1

• Keep-nut® installation needs a simply blind cylindrical hole. It doesn’t need special tools and it’s possible to do it during materials cutting process or directly on site.

• It’s very simple to check the right size and the depth of the hole with just one action. Go/No Go gauge check the both values.

• Easy to install by pressure, you don’t need to dry hole or move the sheet from working table. Don’t need any special tools.

• Keep-nut® it’s the best way to save time and TIME IS MONEY

SAFETY3

• Keep-nut® is an approved and certified insert for porcelain• Keep-nut® is close to being tested ASTM for

• Natural Stone• Solid surface • Sintered Stone• Porcelain• High Performance Concrete

• Keep-nut® is stainless steel made. Standard one with AISI 303 bush + AISI 316 crowns, K series with bush and crowns in AISI 316.

• Keep-nut® fastening system is fireproof. The plastic spacer is self-extinguishing and it does not affect on system tightness

• No needs for resins or adhesives• No tensile force on the receiving material when the insert is not pulled-out.• The “not through” threading of the internal bush, assures fastening without the extraction effect

due to the possible exceeding length of the screw.

KEEP-NUT®

WHY CHOOSE KEEP-NUT®

SMART AND FLEXIBLE4

• Allows an internal assembly without any external dimensions, facilitating the handling and storage of the panels.

• Flush Mount Series guarantees a totally flush installation, so don’t have to use specifical brackets or substructure

• *Bracket it could be fastened with grub (A) or screw (B)

KEEP-NUT®

A* For proper assembly it is recommendedto screw the pin on the total length ofthe useful thread and that the elementto be fixed is in contact with the internalmetal bush of the insert Keep-Nut®.

COMPETITIVE ANALYSIS

20

The undercut process is very complex and expensive

• Very expensive drilling machine with eccentrical rotative axel• Very expensive drill bit (from 6 to 10 times more than standard)• Drilling time is twice as much compared to make a cylindrical hole of the

same depth (one time for drilling cylindrical, one time for undercut)• Difficult to be drilled on site• Necessary to screw-in the insert to expand it before transport
