Rivet Nuts

Rivet Nuts

A rivet nut, also called a nutsert or blind threaded insert, adds a strong machine-screw thread to sheet metal, tubing or panels where you can only reach one side. It installs like a blind rivet: the tool pulls on the thread and collapses the body behind the panel, locking the nut in place.

This category includes Disco Automotive Hardware rivet nuts in 1/4-20 and 5/16-18 threads with the panel thickness range for each, and a Chrysler roof rack nutsert with sealer. Use a rivet nut tool sized for the thread, and choose a nut whose grip range matches the panel thickness.

Rivet nut tools and riveters are in the Riveters category.
