Components

5.3.1.

Kinetic Nut (K-Nut)

The Kinetic Nut (K-Nut) [KHNTS-M or KHNTS-A] is a common component utilized in
many Kinetic products.

5.3.1.1.

Inserting

K-nut

into side channel

If attaching a component to the side channel of the rail such as an L-Bracket follow the
steps shown in Figure 2

1.

At a 30° angle insert the L-Bracket with the K-Nut at the top of the slot

2.

Rotate into position so that the entirety of the K-Nut ends up inside the channel

3.

Drop into place. The inserted component should sit in place and easily slide
back and forth in the channel
