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.

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.

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. 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.

Screw-to-Install Rivet Nuts
These rivet nuts are zinc plated for mild corrosion resistance. They're also known as jack nuts. Large slits in the body allow these rivet nuts to collapse and flare when you fasten them with a screw. A backside flange distributes the force to resist pull-through in thin metals. Nuts for a minimum material thickness of 0.016" include a friction-wrench tool to hold the flange in place when installing with a screwdriver. For quicker installation, use a rivet nut tool. Length is measured from under the flange.

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.

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.

Insulating Rivet Nuts
A nonconductive rubber coating insulates the nut from electricity, seals out moisture, and damps vibration. Also known as well nuts. Length is measured from under the flange.

Low-Profile Rivet Nut Assortments
Use these rivet nuts for light duty fastening in low-clearance applications. Assortments include rivet nuts, mandrels, and an installation tool. Rivet nuts have a cadmium plating that 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.

Light Duty Plier-Style Rivet Nut Tools
Install screw-to-install rivet nuts and rivet nuts for plastic and composites. Thread the rivet nut onto the pull rod (required, sold separately), insert the nut into the hole, and squeeze the handles to secure the nut. Friction wrenches designed to hold the nut head during installation are also available and sold separately.
Tools for Blind Rivets and Rivet Nuts
This tool has changeable nosepieces, anvils, and pull-up studs for installing rivets and rivet nuts. A self-contained hydraulic system delivers additional force to make installation easier. Choose the attachment that matches your rivet's diameter or nut thread size. To install a rivet, insert the mandrel into the nosepiece of the tool. Place the rivet in the material and squeeze the handles. The tool pulls the mandrel through the rivet's body, creating a secure hold on both sides of the material, and breaks off the excess mandrel.
Pull-up studs and driving anvils for 6-32 to 3/8"-16 and M3 to M10 rivet nuts are sold separately.
