Ideally Suited For Tubing, Extrusion, & Other Similar Types Of Single Sided Applications.
FEATURES & BENEFITS
- Do not need welding to the base material. Expensive environmental and welding equipment not necessary.
- Can be placed “blind” — no access to back of material required.
- Prepainted material can be used. Will not damage paint in the installation process.
- Installed quickly and accurately with inexpensive, easy-to-use tooling. Hand tools, spin-spin and spin-pull tools.
- Can be removed without damaging base material.
- Available up to 3/4-10 and M16.
- Variety of head styles—flat, thin, and countersunk.
- Variety of body types—round (smooth and knurled), half hex and full hex.
- Variety of materials—steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and brass.
RIVET NUTS CAN REPLACE:
- Nuts & Bolts — requires access to both sides of the material. Nuts can be lost and create
longer assembly time.
- Clinch Nuts — requires access to the backside of the material and an expensive press
must be used when installing into sheet metal.
- Weld Nuts — Requires expensive welding equipment and can cause material weakness
by burning the base material. Cannot be added to finished parts.
- Rivets— Permanent fastening method; not allowing for removal of components.
- Thread Tapping/Cutting Screws — weaker thread strength than rivet nuts.
- Heated Drill & Tap — weaker; same disadvantages as weld nuts.
