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 and Full Hexagonal body rivnuts offer maximum anti-rotation grip while maintaining a low-profile head for applications where space is limited or aesthetics are important.
- Reduced Head – A smaller, lower-profile head allows for a more flush installation, making it ideal for tight spaces or applications where a standard flange head would interfere with surrounding components.
- Full Hexagonal Body – Designed to fit into a hexagonal hole, this shape provides superior resistance to spinning, especially in high-vibration environments or applications requiring higher torque.
