Description

Overview

Speed Nut Thermo King is a clip-on fastener nut used where sheet metal panels, covers or related hardware need a threaded fixing point on MD, TS and SB units. It suits repair work where the original clip nut has bent, gone missing or lost grip, so the mating screw can be secured again without replacing the surrounding panel.

Features

• Clip-on nut style that creates a threaded fixing point on thin sheet metal.
• Suits Thermo King MD, TS and SB model hardware locations.
• Useful when a panel, cover or guard fastener no longer has a secure nut to tighten into.
• Small reefer hardware item that is easy to keep on hand for door, cover or shroud repairs.

Specifications and Materials

Speed Nut Thermo King suits the supplied MD, TS and SB model application for this replacement fastener. Because clip nuts depend on spring tension and correct shape, match the profile, screw size and seating position against the removed part before ordering. Part number: TK-55-4318-AM.

Compatibility and Fitment

Check the clip shape, screw engagement and mounting position against the old fastener before ordering, because small hardware differences matter on panel and cover jobs. This cross-reference listing means this part is a suitable replacement for the part numbers and applications shown. Some changes in installation may be required. 55-4318, 554318, 20-55-4318, 20554318

Compliance and Safety

Fit the nut fully onto clean, undamaged sheet metal before tightening the screw, because a partly seated clip can twist, strip or pull free. If the surrounding panel hole is worn or distorted, repair that area first so the new fastener can hold properly.

Trailer Applications

Speed Nut Thermo King is used on transport refrigeration panels and covers where small fasteners still need to stay secure through vibration, regular access and service work. It is commonly replaced during door, shroud or cover repairs when the original clip nut no longer grips the panel edge properly.
