316 Stainless Steel Rivnuts (Flanged), Metric Threaded Nuts For Permanent Riveting in Place

Product Description

Rivnuts cater for those situations where you want to fit a nut inside a closed section, and you don’t have access to put the nut in from the back.  Examples of where our stainless steel rivnuts could be used are: for installing a nut in a box section or tubular section, installing a nut in a closed section of decking or fibre-glass moulding.  A rivnut is essentially a rivet which incorporates at threaded nut.

Our rivnuts have a standard metric thread (a range of rivnut sizes are available), and they are made from solid 316-grade stainless steel so suitable for marine and salt-water exposure.  Rivnuts are installed using a rivnut application tool, there are manual versions of the rivnut setting tool available which are not too costly, there are also adaptors for electric drill/drivers for installing rivnuts.

Each rivnut, depending on its size, has a recommended installation hole size, and grip range (the thickness of material that it is best suited to).  If you want to install a rivnut into a thickness of material which is greater than the recommended grip range, you might want to locally thin (by counter-boring or similar) to achieve the recommended grip thickness.
