These steel low-profile rivet nuts are about twice as strong as aluminum rivet nuts. They have a low profile for light duty fastening in low-clearance applications. A cadmium or tin-zinc plating provides corrosion resistance and adds lubricity so they collapse smoothly. The threaded portion is drawn into the sleeve when installed, creating pressure against the hole to secure the nut. Drill bit size listed in the table is for material with a 0.030"-0.090" thickness. These rivet nuts may be installed in thicker material, but may require larger holes. Install them using a hand- or power-driven rivet nut tool. Length is measured from under the flange. Installed length is the maximum length of the barrel when installed.

The most corrosion resistant low-profile rivet nuts we offer, these stand up to chemicals. They're often used for light duty fastening in low-clearance applications. The threaded portion is drawn into the sleeve when installed, creating pressure against the hole to secure the nut. The tin-plating provides lubricity allowing the nut to collapse smoothly. Drill bit size listed in the table is for material with a 0.030"-0.090" thickness. These rivet nuts can be installed in thicker material, but may require larger holes. Install them using a hand- or power-driven rivet nut tool. Length is measured from under the flange. Installed length is the maximum length of the barrel when installed.

These low-profile rivet nuts are one-third the weight of steel rivet nuts. They have a low profile for light duty fastening in low-clearance applications. A cadmium or tin-zinc plating provides corrosion resistance and adds lubricity so they collapse smoothly. The threaded portion is drawn into the sleeve when installed, creating pressure against the hole to secure the nut. Drill bit size listed in the table is for material with a 0.030"-0.090" thickness. These rivet nuts may be installed in thicker material, but may require larger holes. Install them using a hand- or power-driven rivet nut tool. Length is measured from under the flange. Installed length is the maximum length of the barrel when installed.

The PVC foam seal under the flange keeps liquids and gasses from leaking between the nut and the surrounding material. These rivet nuts have a ribbed body to hold them in place when tightening a screw. The body is aluminum and mildly corrosion resistant. Install in a drilled hole using a rivet nut tool. The tool collapses the nut, creating a backside flange that holds the nut to the material. Length is measured from under the flange. Installed length is the maximum length of the barrel when installed.

Threads float inside the nut so you can install a screw at a slight angle to align with off-center parts. They’re also known as Riv-Float nuts. A ribbed body makes them resistant to spinning and twisting. They're zinc plated for mild corrosion resistance. Install in a drilled hole with a wrench-driven tool (required, sold separately). Length is measured from under the flange. Installed length is the maximum length of the barrel when installed.

Made from 18-8 stainless steel, these binding barrels and screws are chemical resistant and may be mildly magnetic. Barrel length and screw length are measured from under the head.

Black-oxide 18-8 stainless steel binding barrels and screws have a matte-black finish that matches dark surfaces and reduces glare.

These rivet nuts have a smooth body and fit in smaller holes than twist-resistant rivet nuts. Assortments include rivet nuts, mandrels, nosepieces, and a plier-style installation tool. To install, thread the rivet nut onto the mandrel, insert the nut into a drilled hole, and squeeze the handles to secure the nut.

Aluminum rivet nuts are one-third the weight of steel rivet nuts and resist corrosion in wet environments.

Zinc-plated steel rivet nuts resist corrosion in wet environments.

Everything you need to add threads to sheet metal, these assortments contain twist-resistant rivet nuts, mandrels, nosepieces, and a plier-style installation tool. The nuts have a ribbed body that grips surrounding material to hold them in place, keeping them from spinning as you tighten screws. They create reusable threads in surfaces that are too thin to be tapped. Also known as blind inserts, installation requires access to just one side of your material. The flange distributes the load and holds the nuts against the surface. All are steel with a zinc yellow-chromate plating to resist corrosion in wet environments.

To install, thread a rivet nut onto the mandrel, insert the nut into a drilled or punched round hole, and squeeze the handles to secure the nut.

Use these tools to install most styles of rivet nuts. A wrench and ratchet are required to hold the tool and tighten the nut.

Turn these tools by hand to install low-profile rivet nuts. The required mandrels are sold separately. To use, thread the nut onto a mandrel of the same size, then place it into a hole, push down on the tool's T-handle, and turn clockwise.

Smaller and lighter than cordless and hydraulic rivet nut tools, use these to install thin-walled bulbed, ribbed, sleeve, and smooth rivet nuts. To use, thread the nut onto the included mandrel and press the trigger to spin the nut onto the tool. Place the nut into the material and press the trigger to install the nut. Press the trigger one more time to spin the mandrel off.
