Flange-Sealing Rivet Nuts

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.

Thread-Sealing Closed-End Rivet Nuts
![](/prerenderstable/mvPRE/contents/gfx/imagecache/982/98280a410p1-b01-digital@halfx_637048532564083510.png?ver=imagenotfound)
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.
Length is measured from under the flange. Installed length is the maximum length of the barrel when installed.

Sealing Screw-to-Install Rivet Nuts

A coated flange seals out moisture and offers corrosion resistance. Large slits in the body allow these rivet nuts to collapse and flare when you fasten them with a screw. They have a backside flange that distributes force to resist pull-through in thin metals. For quicker installation, use a rivet nut tool. Length is measured from under the flange.
