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.

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.

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.

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.

Hand-Driven Tools for Low-Profile Rivet Nuts
Turn these tools by hand to install low-profile rivet nuts. The required mandrels are sold separately. To use, thread the nut onto a mandrel of the same size, then place it into a hole, push down on the tool's T-handle, and turn clockwise.

Air-Powered Rivet Nut Tools
Smaller and lighter than cordless and hydraulic rivet nut tools, use these to install thin-walled bulbed, ribbed, sleeve, and smooth rivet nuts. To use, thread the nut onto the included mandrel and press the trigger to spin the nut onto the tool. Place the nut into the material and press the trigger to install the nut. Press the trigger one more time to spin the mandrel off.
