Posts","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product-description\"\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"intro\"\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThe Keep-Nut Undermount Sink Anchor Kit is a set of 100 press-in anchoring assemblies for mounting undermount sinks to granite, quartz, solid surface, porcelain and other hard surfaces, each set pairing a 1\/4-20 2-crown insert with a 1-1\/2 in. Allen post, wing nut, star washer and Z-shaped sink clip. The insert seats by pressure alone in a plain drilled hole, with no resin, epoxy or adhesive and no cure time; its stainless crowns (teeth) bite the hole wall to give axial strength and flex, and the system averages 562 lb of holding strength per insert. Originally designed to support building facades, vertical wall panels and furniture, the insert works on granite, marble, engineered stone, UHPC, porcelain, solid surface, glass and composites, and is protected by U.S. Patent No. 10,473,141.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThe holes can be drilled with standard shop tools: an 11.8 mm CNC drill bit, a 5\/8 in.-11 11.4 mm manual grinder bit with stop collar, or an 11.8 mm drill bit with stop collar for solid surface. Whichever method is used, the hole is checked with the Go\/No-Go depth gauge and the insert is driven with the setting tool; the drill bits, gauge and setting tool are sold separately and are not part of this kit. If you already own the posts, nuts and clips and only need inserts, the KEEP-NUT (Specialinsert) Threaded Insert – 6.5 mm Embedment Depth, 2-Crown, Medium Duty is the inserts-only 100 pack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"key-features\"\u003e\n    \u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cul\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003e100 complete sets: one insert, one post, one wing nut, one star washer and one sink clip per set\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eKeep-Nut IM2S\/P1.4-20\/H6 press-in self-anchoring insert, 1\/4-20 thread, 2-crown, 6 mm height\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003e1-1\/2 in.
