The tapered shape makes it easier to guide these inserts into a hole during installation. Use a drill bit to create a straight hole, then taper the top half.

Quicker to install than standard heat-set inserts, these inserts go in either way—no need to check which end is correct.

These aluminum inserts are 70% lighter than brass inserts, electrically conductive, and nonmagnetic. They have good corrosion resistance, which is comparable to brass but not as good as stainless steel.

These aluminum rivet nuts are one-third the weight of steel rivet nuts and have mild corrosion resistance.

These low-profile rivet nuts are one-third the weight of steel and have mild corrosion resistance.

A PVC foam seal under the flange keeps liquids and gasses from leaking between the nut and the surrounding material.
