Appliance Fasteners and Components

MacLean-Fogg Component Solutions supplies custom fluid connection couplings and fasteners for appliance applications. The coupling offering serves appliance and hot-water-tank manufacturers, with cold forming and threading performed in-house at Saegertown.

Specify a coupling ready for welding

The appliance coupling offering includes custom fluid connection couplings supplied to manufacturers ready for welding. Define the connection geometry, thread requirements and required supplied condition so the coupling can be discussed as part of your assembly process.

Review forming and threading together

Saegertown describes in-house cold forming and threading for these couplings. The Saegertown manufacturing overview provides additional context on its net-shape and near-net-shape component capabilities. The product-specific geometry and remaining customer operations should guide the manufacturing discussion.

Identify appliance fastening requirements separately

For the threaded fastening function, review prevailing torque nuts and custom cold-formed special fasteners. The latter includes internally threaded parts with non-standard shapes and extended lengths. Keep the fastener requirement distinct from the fluid connection coupling unless the drawing combines those functions.

Are appliance couplings supplied with threading completed?

The appliance coupling page describes cold forming and threading in-house, with couplings supplied ready for welding. Confirm the thread, geometry and required delivered condition for your particular application.

Prepare for an application discussion

Include the coupling or fastener drawing, connection and thread details, material requirements, mating assembly, required supplied condition and expected volume. Identify any application-specific approval or test requirements that the component must meet.
