Smart-Nut™ (All-in-One Nut and Washer)
The Dakota Systems Smart-Nut™ will save your electricians tons of labor time when locking in your strut channel within strut system installations. This product acts as an all-in-one nut and washer that requires NO THREADING, simply snapping onto any area of a threaded rod/all-thread.
Easily and quickly adjust to the desired measurement, and with a ¼ turn of a wrench, you will lock it in place to any 9/16” x 1-1/8” slotted strut hole. Stop fiddling around with all of the individual extra hardware and replace it with one piece of hardware–the Smart-Nut™.
