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.

Made of 18-8 stainless steel, these rivet nuts withstand water, mild chemicals, and outdoor conditions better than zinc-plated steel nuts. A ribbed body grips surrounding material to hold them in place, keeping them from spinning as you tighten screws. Rivet nuts create permanent 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 them against the surface.

Secure them in a drilled or punched round hole with a wrench- or power-driven rivet nut tool. The tool collapses the nut, creating a backside flange that holds the nut to the material.
