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.

Heavy Duty Twist-Resistant Rivet Nuts
A hex-shaped body provides the highest twist resistance of any rivet nut. They're zinc plated for mild corrosion resistance. Install in a punched hole with a lever-style or power-driven 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.

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.

Thread-Sealing Closed-End Rivet Nuts
The thread area is enclosed, which prevents leakage past the threads from either side of your application. These rivet nuts have a ribbed body to hold them in place when tightening a screw. The body and flange are zinc yellow-chromate plated steel for corrosion resistance. 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.
