Rivet nut material choices include aluminum, steel with zinc plating & stainless steel. Our thin wall offerings are quite wide, but to list a few standard offerings: flat head with a round body (most common), thin head with a round body (for a near flush front-side finish), and a flat head with a half hex body (for superior “torque & spin out” protection). These thin wall fasteners can be installed with our tooling options. These thin wall nut inserts offer a wider material grip range, which is a great inventory reduction feature if the application has varied material thicknesses. We can explore your exact rivet nut fastener needs please give us a call today at (800) 236-3200, or email us at TW (thin wall) line is designed as a lower cost alternative for applications that don’t require the superior performance of heavy-duty traditional rivet nuts, but still offer solid performance that typically will suit most applications (automotive makers frequently use thin wall rivet nuts). We are the largest in-stock specialty fastener supplier in the United States and Canada, to name a few. To learn more about RIVNUT® (rivet nut) fasteners, please refer to a sampling of options below! Should you want to explore rivet nuts based on part numbers, we have a fantastic reference guide. Not what you’re looking for? Call us or check out our Install Tools page for more information. we offer pull-to-pressure, pull-to-stroke, and battery-operated pull-to-pressure pneumatic nut insert tools (such as our 4090, B4090 & 6703) and manual hand tools ( C845, C722, C6000 & 140-2000). Productivity gains are facilitated by the ease of installation, which occurs via the selection of installation tools that Rivet Nut USA has tested and has AVAILABLE NOW for easy-to-use and reliable rivet nut installation. The rivet nut offers productivity gains over nearly every other fastener alternative (weld nuts, nut and bolts, press in inserts, etc.). When needing to mate a secondary attachment to the parent application, the rivet nut is the go-to fastener for manufacturers in all industries, including automotive, appliance, food equipment, and aerospace. These fasteners can be installed into dissimilar materials and certain rivet nuts offer internal rolled threads for increased thread strength. RIVNUTS® generally have a tapered shank for automation and hole insertion ease. Round body rivet nuts can offer a special feature of a fully cold-formed, externally knurled body for increased spin-out resistance, or an external “key” feature under the head that locks into its “keyhole” for even better spin-out resistance, or look to a hex body rivet nut for superior best-of-class spin-out resistance.

Internally threaded rivet nuts are typically available in aluminum, steel, and stainless steel (sometimes, brass). Rivet nuts require no finishing work and solve even the most challenging fastening problems.
