    Tight-Space Rivet Nuts

    Add threads to sheet metal and panels in confined spaces with limited backside clearance. At installation, these compact nuts collapse into themselves and press slightly outward, creating snug-fitting threads half the length of a standard nut but just as strong. With a thin top flange that creates a near-flush fit, they're ideal for light duty fastening in small enclosures or housings.
    Install these nuts using a hand- or power-driven rivet nut tool. In thick material, drill or punch a slightly larger hole to ensure the nut body expands uniformly.
    Tin Zinc-Plated Steel—Twice as strong as aluminum rivet nuts. The plating resists rust and helps the nut collapse without friction during installation. It's also nontoxic, unlike cadmium plating.
