The Genie 996380GT Nutsert, 5/16-18 UNC is a genuine OEM fastener built for Genie AL5000, AL5 with Vertical Mast, and AL5 light towers. Sourced directly from Genie, this part matches the exact thread specification of the original, ensuring a correct installation without modification. Cross-reference part number 996380GT against your machine's parts manual to confirm it is the right fit for your unit before ordering.
Key Features
- Exact Thread Specification — 5/16-18 UNC threading matches the OEM standard, so the fastener seats and torques correctly the first time.
- Genuine OEM Construction — manufactured to Genie's dimensional and material requirements for this fastener type, not a generic substitute.
- Direct Fit for Genie Light Towers — confirmed fitment for the AL5000, AL5 with Vertical Mast, and AL5, keeping service straightforward on the job.
- Secure Threaded Anchor — a nutsert installed correctly provides a reliable threaded insert in sheet metal or thin-wall material, preventing thread stripping under repeated fastening cycles.
- Restore Structural Integrity — a damaged or missing nutsert compromises the joint it anchors; replacing it promptly with the correct OEM part keeps the assembly properly secured.
A nutsert — also called a rivet nut or threaded insert — is pressed or set into a pre-drilled hole to create a permanent, load-bearing threaded anchor in material that is too thin to tap directly. On Genie light towers, these fasteners secure panels, brackets, and structural components where conventional nut-and-bolt access is limited to one side. A worn, stripped, or missing nutsert leaves the joint without secure thread engagement, which can cause components to loosen under vibration or load. Replacing it with the correct 5/16-18 UNC part restores the joint to its intended holding strength.
