Axial fan inserts
(1/2) > >>
veedub565:
I'm replacing an axial fan which has threaded inserts fitted for mounting it. I can't find a suitable replacement with the same threaded insert fitted. Yes I know I could put a nut the other side instead, but the location of the fan in the equipment chassis makes this very tricky to do.

I spoke to Orion fans who confirmed this is an OEM option with MOQ of 500. Obviously I'm not going to do that.

Anyone know if it's possible to buy these inserts separately ?
Someone:
TIL rivnut ?

veedub565:

glue the nuts to the fan before fitting the fan
