“How To” Series – Setting a Plusnut

U.S. Upfitters sells and installs a multitude of products in the commercial truck and van market.  When you buy a product from us, we are committed to working with you to extend the life of that product.  In partnership with our industry leading manufacturers, we will use this “How To” series to give you insight on how to do that with a range of our most popular products:

“I need a bunch of those rivnut things”

“Can I have a bunch of those metal drywall anchors?”

The sales staff at U.S. Upfitters gets these types of requests from customers daily.  What they are referring to is the “plusnut,” the handy little tool upfitters across the nation use to install shelving and various equipment into cargo vans.

A 5/16 Plusnut and a Plusnut Tool

If you buy shelving online from inlad.com, you are more than likely going to find a bunch of these in one of your boxes.  We also sell them online if you are working on a project or switching shelves from one van to another:
