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. Installed length is the maximum length of the barrel when installed.

Twist-Resistant Rivet Nuts for Soft Materials
Wedges under the flange lock the nut in place in soft materials such as brass and aluminum, so it won't turn when tightening a screw. Made from aluminum, they're one-third the weight of steel and mildly corrosion resistant. Install in a drilled hole with a hydraulic/air-powered 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.

Aluminum Low-Profile Rivet Nuts
These low-profile rivet nuts are one-third the weight of steel 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.

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.

Rivet Nut Assortments
These rivet nuts have a smooth body and fit in smaller holes than twist-resistant rivet nuts. Assortments include rivet nuts, mandrels, nosepieces, and a plier-style installation tool. To install, thread the rivet nut onto the mandrel, insert the nut into a drilled hole, and squeeze the handles to secure the nut.
Aluminum rivet nuts are one-third the weight of steel rivet nuts and resist corrosion in wet environments.
