Rivet Nuts

Made of steel, these rivet nuts add strong, reusable threads to sheet metal and other material that’s too thin to tap. Their ribbed body grips material better than smooth-body rivet nuts, so they won't twist when you tighten a screw. Also known as blind inserts, they can be installed when you have access to only one side of the material. With a zinc yellow-chromate plating, these nuts resist corrosion in wet environments.

Install these nuts in a drilled or punched round 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.
