Steel Twist-Resistant Rivet Nuts

About twice as strong as aluminum rivet nuts, these steel rivet nuts are zinc yellow-chromate plated for corrosion resistance. A ribbed body holds the nut in place so it won't turn when tightening a screw. Also known as blind inserts, they can be installed when you have access to only one side of the material. Install in a drilled 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.

Stainless Steel Twist-Resistant Rivet Nuts

The most corrosion resistant twist-resistant rivet nuts we offer, these stand up to chemicals. A ribbed body holds the nut in place so it won't turn when tightening a screw. Also known as blind inserts, they can be installed when you have access to only one side of the material. Install in a drilled 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.

Aluminum Twist-Resistant Rivet Nuts

These rivet nuts are one-third the weight of steel rivet nuts and mildly corrosion resistant. A ribbed body holds the nut in place so it won't turn when tightening a screw. Also known as blind inserts, they can be installed when you have access to only one side of the material. Install in a drilled 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.

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.

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.

Flange-Sealing Rivet Nuts

The PVC foam seal under the flange keeps liquids and gasses from leaking between the nut and the surrounding material. These rivet nuts have a ribbed body to hold them in place when tightening a screw. The body is aluminum and mildly corrosion resistant. Install in a drilled 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.

Aligning Rivet Nuts

Threads float inside the nut so you can install a screw at a slight angle to align with off-center parts. They’re also known as Riv-Float nuts. A ribbed body makes them resistant to spinning and twisting. They're zinc plated for mild corrosion resistance. Install in a drilled hole with a wrench-driven tool (required, sold separately). Length is measured from under the flange. Installed length is the maximum length of the barrel when installed.

Heavy Duty Twist-Resistant Rivet Nut Assortments


A ribbed-shaped body holds the nut in place so it won't move when tightening a screw. Assortments contain rivet nuts, mandrels, nosepieces, and a plier-style installation tool. Made from zinc yellow-chromate plated seel, they resist corrosion in wet environments. To install, thread a rivet nut onto the mandrel, insert the nut into a drilled hole, and squeeze the handles to secure the nut.
