About Rivet Nuts

Rivet nuts, also known as blind rivet nuts or threaded inserts, are essential fasteners for creating load-bearing threads in materials too thin for tapping, such as sheet metal, plastic, or fiberglass. These versatile fasteners are installed from one side, making them ideal for blind applications in automotive repair, marine, and general fabrication.

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.
