Aircraft Flat-Type Tinnerman Nuts

Spring Steel Speed Nuts for Mid-Panel Mounting | EU Stock

Your European Source for Flat-Type Tinnerman Speed Nuts

Airpart Supply stocks a comprehensive range of aircraft Flat-Type Tinnerman nuts in our Dublin warehouse, providing fast delivery across the European Union for maintenance organisations and aircraft operators.

Flat-Type Tinnerman nuts, also known as flat speed nuts or panel nuts, are essential aircraft hardware components designed for quick assembly where the fastening location is away from panel edges. These self-retaining fasteners provide a threaded receptacle for machine screws while maintaining a low profile, making them ideal for airframe applications where clearance is limited.

Manufactured from spring steel for durability and reliable thread engagement, Flat-Type Tinnerman nuts are used extensively throughout general aviation aircraft including Cessna, Piper, and Beechcraft aircraft for securing interior panels, instrument mounts, and cabin trim where mid-panel fastening is required.

Our range covers screw sizes #4 through #10 to suit different installation requirements. All parts meet aviation specifications and ship from our EU warehouse with full traceability.

Understanding Flat-Type Tinnerman Nut Specifications

When selecting Flat-Type Tinnerman nuts for your aircraft application, consider these key dimensions:

Screw Size

The thread size that the nut accepts. Must match your screw size (#4, #6, #8, or #10 for this range).

Length

Overall length of the nut body. Determines installation clearance behind the panel surface.

Width

Width across the nut body. Important for spacing between adjacent fasteners and panel cutout requirements.

Flat-Type vs U-Type Tinnerman Nuts

Flat-Type Tinnerman Nuts

Design: Flat profile that mounts through panel hole

Best for: Mid-panel mounting where screw location is away from edges

Advantages: Lower profile, can be positioned anywhere on panel, simpler dimension selection

Applications: Interior panels, instrument mounting, cabin trim, avionics covers

U-Type Tinnerman Nuts

Design: U-shaped clip that grips panel edges

Best for: Panel edge mounting where the nut clips over material edge

Advantages: Quick installation, no back access required, self-positioning on edge

Applications: Edge-mounted panels, fairings, access doors, inspection covers

Flat-Type Tinnerman Nut Applications in Aviation

Flat-Type Tinnerman nuts are ideal for mid-panel fastening applications where the mounting location is not at a panel edge. Common applications include:

Interior Applications

  • Instrument panel mounting
  • Cabin sidewall trim
  • Headliner panel installation
  • Avionics equipment covers
  • Seat back panels

Structural Applications

  • Interior bulkhead covers
  • Electrical access panels
  • Baggage compartment liners
  • Floor panel attachments
  • Cargo area covers

Selecting the Right Flat-Type Tinnerman Nut Size

#4 Size (A1776-4Z1D)

Smallest size for light-duty applications. Ideal for small interior trim pieces, light plastic panels, and decorative covers where minimal load is applied.

#6 Size (A1777-6Z1D)

Common size for general interior panel work. Suitable for cabin trim, headliners, and standard interior access panels on most light aircraft.

#8 Size (A1778-8Z1D)

Medium-duty applications requiring additional thread engagement. Recommended for instrument panel mounting, heavier interior panels, and equipment covers.

#10 Size (A1779-10Z1D)

Largest size for heavier-duty requirements. Best for floor panels, baggage compartment covers, and applications where increased holding strength is needed.
