Steel Low-Profile Rivet Nuts
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.

Steel Low-Profile Rivet Nuts with Installation Tool
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.

Stainless Steel Low-Profile Rivet Nuts
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.

Low-Profile Rivet Nut Assortments
Use these rivet nuts for light duty fastening in low-clearance applications. Assortments include rivet nuts, mandrels, and an installation tool. Rivet nuts have a cadmium plating that 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.
