100PC 3/8-16 STEEL RIVET N - Astro Pneumatic

The Astro Pneumatic RN38 100PC 3/8-16 Steel Rivet Nuts provide a professional-grade solution for creating robust, permanent threads in thin materials where tapping is not feasible or access is limited. Manufactured from high-quality zinc-plated steel, these rivet nuts are engineered for durability and reliable performance in demanding automotive and industrial environments. This 100-piece set ensures technicians have an ample supply for various fastening applications.

Key Features

• Durable Construction: Made from high-quality zinc-plated steel for exceptional strength and corrosion resistance, ensuring long-lasting performance in harsh conditions.
• Secure Installation: Features a knurled body design that enhances grip and prevents rotation within the host material once installed, providing a secure and stable threaded insert.
• Standard Threading: Each rivet nut features a 3/8"-16 SAE UNC thread, offering compatibility with common fasteners and robust load-bearing capabilities.
• Versatile Compatibility: Designed for use with Astro Pneumatic's PRN Series Pneumatic Rivet Nut Setting Guns, as well as Astro 1427 and 1442 handheld rivet nut setters, and other standard rivet nut installation tools.
• Permanent Thread Solution: Ideal for creating permanent, captive threads in materials such as sheet metal, plastic, and fiberglass, which are too thin to tap directly.
• Enhanced Performance: A large flange provides an increased bearing surface, improving push-out performance and overall fastening integrity.

Applications

These 3/8"-16 steel rivet nuts are essential for professional technicians and mechanics across a wide range of applications. They are commonly used in automotive repair for attaching accessories, mounting components, or repairing damaged threads in vehicle bodies and frames. In industrial settings, they provide reliable fastening points in metal fabrication, machinery assembly, and various construction projects. Their ability to provide strong threads in thin materials makes them invaluable in situations requiring robust attachment points where only one side of the material is accessible.
