Rivnuts (also known as nutserts, blind nuts, or threaded inserts) are a fast, reliable, and cost-effective way to create strong, load-bearing threads to thin or brittle materials—especially when access to the back is limited. They are installed into a parent material, allowing a secondary component to be securely bolted in place.
Designed as a variation of a standard rivet, rivnuts feature a tubular body (round, knurled or hexagonal) with internal threading. They can be installed in sheet materials as thin as 0.50mm and offer one-sided (blind) installation, making them a versatile solution for many applications.
Reduced Head, Knurled body, Closed End rivnuts offer a compact, high-grip, and sealed fastening solution, making them ideal for tight spaces, vibration-prone environments, and applications requiring protection from contaminants.
- Reduced Head – A low-profile head allows for flush installation, making it perfect for space-constrained applications or when a smooth finish is needed.
- Knurled Body – Features vertical grooves that enhance resistance to spinning, ensuring a secure fit in soft or thin materials.
- Closed End – Seals off the back of the rivnut, preventing moisture, dirt, and debris from entering, which helps protect internal threads and extends fastener life.
