Have been considering using some nutplates in place of AN365 nuts for some AN3 bolt connections, but not finding the documentation to support the change. Neither Vans nor the supplier would comment. Am concluding that it any nutplate should only be used if the nut called out on the plans is specifically named in the interchangeability paragraph of the NAS standard of the anchor nut to be used. So, for example, the NASM25027 (K1000) spec would be good - since the AN nuts are called out in that paragraph, but the MS21055 (the one I would like to use) would not - only other NAS specs are called out.
I must be missing something - the 21055 is clearly for structural connections in tension. Thanks for any help.
