FDH Aero is an aerospace fastener distributor for 3V Fasteners, A CAM Company, supplying bolts, screws, nut plates, and other externally threaded hardware to aerospace and defense buyers sourcing this brand by name. If a print or program calls out 3V Fasteners specifically, this page is where to start a quote and confirm availability.

About 3V Fasteners, A CAM Company

3V Fasteners manufactures externally threaded aerospace fasteners, including standard and special bolts and screws built to mil-spec and customer-specific requirements. Headquartered in Corona, California, 3V Fasteners supplies fastener programs for major aircraft manufacturers, which is why the brand shows up so often on prints calling for a specific, qualified source rather than a generic aerospace fastener.

FDH Aero carries the 3V Fasteners line as part of its broader hardware catalog, so a purchasing or engineering team sourcing this brand can order it alongside the rest of their fastener list rather than managing a separate vendor relationship for one product line.

3V Fasteners Products Available Through FDH Aero

Bolts and Screws
Bolts and screws make up the core of the 3V Fasteners line, built to mil-spec and customer-specific requirements for structural and assembly attach points. These are the parts buyers most often search for by name when a print calls out 3V specifically, and the ones FDH Aero fields the most quote requests on.

Nut Plates
Nut plates give a design a fixed, captive threaded point on the back side of a panel or structure, so a technician can drive a screw in from one side without needing access to hold a separate nut in place. 3V manufactures nut plates as part of its standard aerospace fastener line.

Anchor Nuts
Anchor nuts serve a similar purpose to nut plates, providing a permanently mounted threaded attachment point, and are common where a design needs a fastener location that stays fixed through repeated maintenance access.

Gang Channels
Gang channels let a design mount a row of anchor nuts or nut plates along a single track rather than installing each one individually, which is useful anywhere a structure needs multiple, evenly spaced fastener points.

3V Fasteners also manufactures other hardware beyond these core categories. For the full breadth of fastener types FDH Aero carries alongside 3V, including the broader nut plates catalog, see FDH Aero’s hardware product lines.

Where Aerospace Fasteners Like These Fit

3V Fasteners’ bolts, screws, nut plates, and anchor nuts typically support the kinds of aerospace and defense fastening work FDH Aero’s buyers source for every day:

• Airframe structural assembly: attach points where clamping load and vibration resistance both matter
• Panel and access door installation: captive nut plates and anchor nuts that let a technician work from one side of a structure
• Engine and nacelle installations: fastening in environments with sustained heat and vibration cycling
• Interior and cabin systems: lighter-duty attach points where repeatable, removable fastening is still required
• MRO and aftermarket repair: replacement parts sourced against an existing print or part number, not a new design

Every application still comes down to matching the part number on the print to what’s actually being ordered. FDH Aero’s hardware team can confirm fit against a spec before a quote is finalized.

FAQs

What’s the difference between mil-spec and commercial aerospace fasteners?
Mil-spec fasteners are manufactured and tested to military specification standards that define material, strength, and quality requirements in detail, while commercial aerospace fasteners may meet industry standards without carrying a specific military specification. 3V Fasteners builds to mil-spec and customer-specific requirements, which is why programs that call out the brand by name are usually specifying it for that reason.

What’s the difference between an anchor nut and a nut plate?
Both provide a fixed, captive threaded attachment point on the back side of a structure, but they’re typically distinguished by mounting style and load requirements on a given print. An engineer specifying either one is usually matching what’s already called out in the design rather than choosing freely between them.

Does FDH Aero provide certifications of conformance with 3V Fasteners orders?
FDH Aero can supply certifications of conformance and material traceability documentation for 3V Fasteners parts as required by your purchase order. Confirm your documentation requirements when you request a quote.

What’s the lead time on 3V Fasteners parts through FDH Aero?
Lead time depends on the specific part number and order quantity. Contact FDH Aero with your part numbers and quantities for current availability and lead time.
