Twist-Resistant Rivet Nuts

Ideal for parts that require frequent maintenance or disassembly, these rivet nuts won't spin out when you tighten or loosen a screw. Their ribbed body digs into material to prevent twisting.

Install these nuts in a drilled or punched round hole using a rivet nut tool. Thread the rivet nut onto the mandrel, then grip the tool body with a wrench as you twist the tightening nut with a ratchet. Choose an air- or battery-powered tool for fast installation or to easily switch between many different nut sizes. Length is measured from under the flange.

Zinc-Yellow-Chromate-Plated Steel—A step up from plain steel, the plating withstands occasional exposure to moisture.

18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these nuts resist rust and mild chemicals.

Lever-Style Rivet Nut Tools

Standard

Handle,

Knob

Removal

Use two hands to maximize leverage when installing rivet nuts. These tools require a mandrel and nosepiece. To use, thread the nut onto the mandrel, insert the nut into a drilled hole, and squeeze the handles to secure the nut.

Knob Removal—Tools with knob removal have a spin-to-reverse knob to quickly unthread the mandrel from the installed nut.

Rivet Nuts For Sandwich Panels

Assembled

Image of Specification. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Rivet Nuts. Rivet Nuts For Sandwich Panels.

Add reusable threads to sandwich panels in insulated walls and clean rooms. These two-piece fasteners consist of a flanged rivet nut and a threaded insert that, when paired with an adhesive, grip the top, core, and bottom of the panel. Combined with their ribbed body that digs into material to resist spin out, these nuts won't budge when turning screws.

To install, insert the rivet nut into a drilled hole and collapse it against the backside of the panel. Then, use a mixing nozzle and dispensing gun (both sold separately) to inject structural adhesive through the rivet nut onto the bottom and core of your panel. Finally, thread the insert into the rivet nut with a slotted screwdriver. The closed end of the insert keeps adhesive from leaking into the threads.

Twist-Resistant Flush-Profile Rivet Nuts

Add threads that won't shift in sheet metal and thin panels while keeping a flush surface. The angled head on these nuts sits evenly with your panel so nothing catches or juts out. The ribbed body digs into material so nuts won't spin out when tightening or loosening screws. They're ideal when space is tight around fasteners or equipment needs frequent maintenance or disassembly, or when appearance matters.

Install these nuts in a drilled or punched countersunk round hole using a rivet nut tool. Choose an air- or battery-powered tool for fast installation or to easily switch between many different nut sizes. Length is measured from under the flange.

Air-Powered Rivet Nut Tools

Install any size or style of rivet nut with a single tool. When you connect these tools to your compressed air line, the hydraulic fluid inside is pressurized, which generates the force needed to collapse a rivet nut. They’re also known as hydropneumatic rivet nut tools. Rather than rotating the rivet nut, like single-size rivet nut tools, these tools pull it straight back. This means you can adjust the pulling force or stroke depth to match your application. Set the pulling force if you’re installing rivet nuts into workpieces with different thicknesses. Set the stroke depth to install rivet nuts in soft or fragile materials without cracking or warping the surface.

75 to 100 psi—1/4 NPT Air Connection

7,190 lbf Pulling Force—Use tools with a 7,190 lbf. pulling force to install rivet nuts made from hard materials, such as titanium. They’re also good for large nut sizes. However, they take about three times longer to install a nut than tools with a 3,960 lbf. pulling force.

Single-Size Air-Powered Rivet Nut Tools

Pistol Grip

Use compressed air to install rivet nuts with less effort than manual tools. Tailored to specific thread sizes, these tools rotate a rivet nut with the exact force needed to collapse it onto your workpiece. They’re smaller and lighter than other powered rivet nut tools, so you can squeeze them into tighter spaces. However, they generate less force, so they’re not recommended for installing nuts into thick materials.
