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.
Large flange, half hexagonal body rivnuts offer a balance of increased load distribution and anti-rotation properties, making them ideal for securing components in high-vibration environments.
- Large Flange Head – Spreads the load over a larger surface area, helping to prevent pull-through in thin or soft materials.
- Half Hexagonal Body – Provides resistance to spinning when installed in a hexagonal hole, improving grip compared to round body rivnuts while still being easier to install in certain applications.
