This section contains reduced rivet space anchor nuts which are good for tight or confined spaces, but have more risk of cracks forming between rivet holes and screw holes. It is not recommended to use these anchor nuts in high stress areas.
MS21069, MK1000 self-locking 2 lug low height fixed anchor nut reduced rivet spacing.
NOTE: reduced fatigue life because of the reduced rivet spacing.
MK1000 is Alcoa fastening systems (Kaynar) number for similar anchor nut.
Options: ‘L’ – Dry film lubricated (most common)
‘-’ – Non lubricated
‘K’ – dimpled/countersunk holes for rivets
Current spec: NASM 21069 (still uses MS21069 for part number)
