Sometimes you need to create a threaded hole in a material that's too thin to tap, or where you can only access one side of the workpiece. That's where rivet nuts, also known as blind rivet nuts or rivnuts, really shine. They're essentially a tubular rivet with internal threads, designed to be installed from one side, creating a strong, permanent thread for a bolt or screw to fasten into.
You'll find these incredibly useful in a huge range of situations, from automotive and aerospace repairs to fabricating enclosures, mounting panels in sheet metal, or even for DIY projects where you need to attach something securely to a hollow section. Think about adding accessories to a vehicle, securing shelving to thin-walled structures, or assembling components where you can't get behind to hold a traditional nut. They're a fantastic solution for creating reliable fastening points without welding or complex threading.
Our selection includes popular types like crush nuts, available in various sizes and materials to suit your project's demands. You'll find options in durable steel, ideal for high-strength applications, as well as lightweight aluminium for situations where weight is a factor or corrosion resistance is a priority. We offer flanged and countersunk varieties, plus serrated and non-serrated options, giving you flexibility depending on the material you're working with and the finish you need. Whether you're a professional tradesperson or tackling a home improvement task, we have the right rivet nuts for you.
