Blind Rivet Nut

A blind rivet nut is a fastener for joining thin sheet materials when an additional threaded attachment point is required.

Product features

A rivet nut is a hollow cylinder with threads cut at one end; it resembles a standard nut in appearance. The other end has a flanged head with deformable walls that flatten during installation.

Material: aluminium or carbon steel. Standard sizes: diameter 3–10 mm, length 8.8–22 mm. The thickness of the materials being joined should not exceed 6 mm.

Application and installation rules

Rivet nuts are used across various industries. Their main advantage is that access to the structure being fastened is required from only one side.

Installation is performed with a pneumatic rivet gun. Holes are pre-drilled in the sheets, then the rivet nut is inserted threaded end first. A special bolt is fitted into the rivet gun and screwed into the rivet nut. Under load, the ends of the rivet nut flatten, while the threaded cylinder remains outside for subsequent connection with another element.
