ABSTRACT:
A retainer for positioning and retaining flanged nuts relative to a member for installation on studs of a larger assembly. The retainer includes a body and nut retaining tabs extending from the body. Each tab loosely carries a flanged nut. The member has a body with a plurality of openings spaced to be received on a plurality of threaded studs. The retainer and captured nuts are attached to the member to form a retainer assembly, which holds the member and nuts together until the member is installed on the studs of the larger assembly. The retainer assembly is positioned on a plurality of studs and the nuts are threaded onto the studs. The nut retainer is then removed from the member, leaving the member attached to the studs. The retainer may then be reused to install similar members.
