A ribbed body and wedges under the flange bite into soft materials such as brass, aluminum, and composites to prevent spinning when you tighten a screw. These rivet nuts create permanent threads in sheet metal and other surfaces that are too thin to be tapped. Installation requires access to just one side of your material. The flange distributes the load and holds the nut against the surface. All resist rusting in wet environments.

Install them in a drilled or punched round hole with 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.

Irregularly shaped threads in these nuts form a tight grip, preventing screws from backing out in vibration-heavy environments. Our most twist-resistant rivet nuts, these hex-shaped nuts are held in place by their flat sides to keep them from spinning as you tighten screws. They're also among our strongest rivet nuts and hold up in heavy duty applications. Use these rivet nuts to create reusable threads in sheet metal and other surfaces that are too thin to be tapped. They’re also known as blind inserts—installation requires access to just one side of your material. The flange distributes the load and holds these nuts against the surface. Made of zinc-plated steel, they resist corrosion in wet environments.

Install in a hex-shaped punched hole with a rivet nut tool. The tool collapses the nut, creating a backside flange that holds the nut to the material. Screw-locking threads require high torque for fastening and unfastening, so you may need an impact wrench to remove screws.

Everything you need to add threads to sheet metal in low-clearance areas. Along with low-profile rivet nuts, these kits include mandrels and an installation tool. As you install these nuts, the threaded portion is drawn into the sleeve, reducing how far they stick out the back of your material. They also have a flange that’s half as thick as those on other rivet nuts, so they have a low profile on both sides of your panel. A tin-zinc plating protects from rust in wet environments and reduces friction, so they collapse smoothly. These rivet nuts create permanent threads in surfaces that are too thin to be tapped. Installation requires access to just one side of your material. The flange distributes the load and holds them against the surface.

To install, thread a rivet nut onto the mandrel, insert the nut into a drilled or punched round hole, push down on the tool's T-handle, and turn clockwise.

The closed end on these nuts keeps debris from passing through the nut or damaging the threads. As rivet nuts, they add reusable threads in material that’s too thin to tap. You only need access to one side of your material to install them, unlike press-fit nuts. They stay in place even when you tighten your screw, thanks to a ribbed body that grips the surrounding material. Made of steel, they create stronger joints in sheet metal than sheet metal screws. They’re zinc yellow-chromate plated to resist corrosion in wet environments.

Mount them in a drilled or round punched hole using a rivet nut tool. The tool collapses the nut, creating a backside flange that holds the nut to the material.

A nonconductive rubber coating insulates the nut from electricity, seals out moisture, and damps vibration. Also known as well nuts. Length is measured from under the flange.

With an angled head, these rivet nuts sit flush in countersunk holes. Use them to create reusable threads in sheet metal and other surfaces that are too thin to be tapped. Installation requires access to just one side of your material. Made of steel, all have either a zinc or zinc yellow-chromate plating to resist corrosion in wet environments.
