Southwire Cone Nut

Maximize the efficiency of your strut installations with Southwire cone nuts, the professional choice for secure, rapid fastening within metal framing channels. These specialized nuts feature a unique conical spring design that holds the nut firmly in place at any point along the strut, even in vertical or overhead applications. At Ohio Power Tool, we provide a full range of Southwire cone nuts in various thread sizes and finishes, ensuring you have the right hardware to prevent slipping and "nut travel" during complex assemblies. By eliminating the frustration of loose hardware, these cone nuts allow for a true one-handed installation that significantly cuts down on labor time.

For electrical and mechanical contractors, Southwire cone nuts are indispensable when mounting heavy heavy-duty conduit, cable trays, or HVAC equipment. The integrated cone acts as a high-friction pilot, centering the nut within the channel flanges to ensure a perfect bolt alignment every time. Homeowners and DIYers will find them equally helpful for building overhead garage storage racks or heavy-duty shelving units, where keeping hardware positioned while reaching for a tool can be a major challenge. When you choose Southwire hardware from Ohio Power Tool, you are opting for precision-engineered components that bring industrial-grade reliability to every project.

Advantages of Southwire Cone Nuts
Hands-Free Positioning: The tapered plastic or metal cone creates enough tension to hold the nut in place without manual support.

Vertical Stability: Ideal for vertical strut runs where standard spring nuts might slide down the channel before the bolt is tightened.

Corrosion Protection: Available in zinc-plated and stainless steel finishes to withstand moisture and harsh jobsite environments.

Universal Fit: Specifically engineered to fit standard 1-5/8" strut channels, providing a consistent grip across different brands of metal framing.
