Rivet Nuts


Rivet nuts (blind rivet nuts / threaded inserts) are a fast, reliable way to create load-bearing internal threads in thin sheet metal, tubing, and extrusions when only one side of the assembly is accessible. They eliminate welding and tapping, enable serviceable fastening with standard screws, and are especially valuable in fabricated housings, enclosures, brackets, and panels. For best results, select by hole geometry, head profile, and required torque and pull-out performance, then match the material and finish to the environment and galvanic pairing, and choose a grip range that covers total stack thickness.

RNB Flat Head Knurled Body Rivet Nuts

RNB rivet nuts are flat head, knurled round-body threaded inserts designed to create strong, reusable machine threads in thin sheet metal, tubing, and extrusions with one-side access. The flat head helps spread clamp load on the panel surface, while the knurled body improves grip in round holes to reduce spin-out during installation and repeated service—making RNB a strong all-around choice for OEM sheet-metal assemblies and fabricated enclosures.

RND Reduced Head Knurled Body Rivet Nuts

RND rivet nuts deliver the same core benefit—blind, reusable threads in thin material—but with a reduced head profile for tighter packaging and a lower visible footprint. Pairing the reduced head with a knurled body adds rotational resistance in round-hole applications, making RND ideal for compact housings, panels, and clean-surface designs where clearance above the panel is limited.

RNG Flat Head Hex Body Rivet Nuts

RNG rivet nuts are designed for hex-hole applications that demand stronger anti-rotation than typical round-body rivet nuts. The full hex body locks into the prepared hole to support higher-torque fastening, while the flat head helps distribute clamp force on the panel surface. Choose RNG for equipment panels, brackets, and service points where fasteners may be removed and reinstalled over time and where preventing spin-out is critical.

RNH Reduced Head Hex Body Rivet Nuts

RNH rivet nuts combine a full hex body (for high anti-rotation in a hex hole) with a reduced head (for low head projection). This makes RNH a strong fit for torque-sensitive assemblies in tight spaces—where designers want the holding power of a hex-body blind rivet nut but must keep the installed footprint compact.

RNI Flat Head Half-Hex Body Rivet Nuts

RNI rivet nuts provide blind threaded fastening with added anti-rotation benefits using a half-hex body design. The flat head supports the panel surface by spreading load during installation and service, while the half-hex geometry is positioned to improve holding power over standard round-body rivet nuts in torque-sensitive assemblies. Choose RNI when you want a balanced combination of panel support, anti- rotation performance, and one-side installation for OEM sheet metal products.

RNJ Reduced Head Half-Hex Body Rivet Nuts

RNJ rivet nuts are a compact, anti-rotation-oriented option that pairs a reduced head with a half-hex body. They are designed for blind fastening where clearance or cosmetic requirements are tighter, while still resisting spin-out more effectively than standard round-body styles. RNJ is well suited to thin sheet metal, tubing, and fabricated components that need neat appearance, serviceable threads, and reliable one-side installation.
