17mm Rib Nut

Specifications

• Manufacturer: Grey Pneumatic (GREY PNEUMATIC CORP.)
• Model Number: GP2419
• Product Name: 17mm Rib Nut
• Weight: 0.31 lbs
• Type: Internally threaded rivet nut (blind fastener)
• Size: Features a 17mm hex profile, indicating the wrench or tool size for installation.

Key Features

• Ribbed Design: Engineered with external ribs that provide superior grip and resistance against rotation and pull-out in various base materials.
• Internal Threads: Creates a strong, permanent load-bearing thread for robust fastening applications where tapping is not feasible.
• Blind Application: Installs from one side of the workpiece, making it ideal for enclosed sections, tubing, or applications with limited rear access.
• Durable Construction: Manufactured to provide a reliable and long-lasting fastening solution.
• Tool Compatibility: Designed for installation using a standard 17mm hex wrench or appropriate rivet nut tool.

Applications

• Thin Materials: Ideal for securing components to sheet metal, plastics, fiberglass, composites, and other materials too thin to tap.
• Automotive Industry: Used for attaching trim, panels, accessories, and structural components in vehicles.
• Manufacturing and Assembly: Creates strong threads in assemblies for electrical enclosures, appliances, HVAC systems, and furniture.
• Structural Fastening: Provides robust anchor points in hollow sections or structures where traditional nuts and bolts are impractical.

Benefits

• Enhanced Pull-Out Resistance: The ribbed body significantly increases the fastener's resistance to axial load and prevents rotation during installation and use.
• Simplified Assembly: Streamlines the assembly process by eliminating the need for backside access, reducing installation time and complexity.
• Vibration and Shock Resistant: Provides a secure and stable thread, minimizing loosening even under dynamic loads or vibrations.
• Prevents Material Damage: Spreads the load over a larger area, reducing the risk of deforming or cracking delicate base materials during fastening.
• Versatile Threading Solution: Offers a reliable method for creating strong, reusable threads in materials that would otherwise strip or break.
