NUT (P/N nas446-2) - New Surplus

The NAS446-2 is a sheet-spring nut manufactured from steel per National Aerospace Standards. This captive nut clips over thin sheet-metal edges and aligns with clearance holes for machine screw installation. Commonly used on aircraft access panels and equipment covers where permanent fastening points are impractical.

The spring-loaded design holds the nut in position during assembly, then secures when the screw is torqued. Installation follows standard aerospace practices as specified in the aircraft maintenance manual. NAS446 nuts provide reliable, standardized fastening for thin-wall structures across general and commercial aviation applications.
