Our rivet nuts provide a strong and reliable way to create a threaded fixing point in thin sheet materials where traditional nuts and bolts may not be practical. Also known as threaded inserts or nutserts, they’re ideal for professional fabricators, engineers, installers and tradespeople working with metal and other suitable materials. Rivet nuts can be installed from one side of the workpiece, making them particularly useful for box sections, panels and hollow components where access to the reverse side is restricted.
At RC Screws, we stock rivet nuts in a selection of sizes and specifications to suit different fixing requirements. Whether you’re working on fabrication, maintenance, machinery or general construction, our rivet nuts offer a practical and reliable fastening solution at leading prices, with free UK delivery available on qualifying orders.
FAQs
1. What are rivet nuts used for?
Rivet nuts are used to create strong, reusable threaded fixing points in thin or hollow materials. They’re commonly used in sheet metal, panels and box sections across fabrication, engineering, maintenance and installation work.
2. How do rivet nuts work?
A rivet nut is inserted into a correctly sized hole and compressed using a suitable setting tool. The body deforms behind the material to hold it securely in place, leaving an internal thread ready to accept a compatible bolt or machine screw.
3. Can rivet nuts be installed when I only have access to one side?
Yes. One of the main advantages of rivet nuts is that they can be installed from just one side of the material. This makes them particularly useful for enclosed sections and areas where the back of the workpiece cannot be easily reached.
4. How do I choose the right rivet nut?
Consider the material thickness, hole diameter, thread size and the material being fixed into. Selecting the correct specification helps create a secure fit and ensures the finished fixing performs reliably.
5. Do I need a special tool to install rivet nuts?
Yes, rivet nuts are normally installed using a dedicated rivet nut setting tool. Using the correct tool helps compress the insert evenly and ensures it is securely fixed without damaging the surrounding material.
