Each Plug Nut® is made with a tapered knurled projection - the large end of which is greater in diameter than the hole in which the nut will be used. An annular groove separates the top of the projection from the underside of the head of the nut. When the nut is pressed into a mating hole, the wall material of the hole is radially displaced in an outward direction. Displaced hole material flows into the knurls and groove to clinch the nut securely in place. This is accomplishe d without affecting flatness of component product material.
