How it works

Nut in, fitting on, bolt tight

The channel nut is slid or turned into the channel and positioned under the fitting. A bolt passes through the plate, bracket or clamp and into the nut. As the bolt is tightened the nut is pulled up against the lips and the fitting is clamped to the channel.
