Description
The Stainless Steel Blind Rivet Nut is a high-performance threaded insert designed to create strong, reusable internal threads in thin or soft materials where conventional tapping is not feasible. Engineered for blind installation, this rivet nut provides a reliable fastening solution when access is limited to one side of the workpiece.
Featuring a flat head post design, this fastener sits flush against the material surface, ensuring a clean, low-profile finish while distributing load evenly. During installation, the rivet nut is deformed using a specialized tool, creating a secure mechanical bond with the base material and forming a durable threaded anchor point.
Manufactured from 304 stainless steel, this fastener offers excellent corrosion resistance, oxidation resistance, and long-term durability, making it suitable for demanding environments such as automotive, construction, electronics, and industrial machinery.
Features & Benefits
- Excellent Corrosion Resistance: Made from 304 stainless steel, providing superior resistance to rust, oxidation, and environmental exposure for both indoor and outdoor applications.
- Efficient Blind Installation: Designed for single-sided installation, allowing quick and secure fastening in closed sections, tubes, or hard-to-reach areas without requiring backside access.
- High Strength and Stability: Solid construction with high hardness ensures strong load-bearing performance, preventing deformation and maintaining joint integrity under vibration or stress.
- Durable and Reusable Threads: Creates strong internal threads that support repeated assembly and disassembly, making it ideal for maintenance-friendly and long-term applications.

FAQ
Q1: Why choose stainless steel over carbon steel rivet nuts?
304 stainless steel provides significantly better corrosion and oxidation resistance, making it ideal for outdoor, marine, and high-moisture environments.
Q2: Can these rivet nuts be installed with standard tools?
Yes. They can be installed using a rivet nut tool/mandrel tool, pneumatic riveter, or manual hand tool depending on size and volume.
Q3: Can the rivet nut be removed?
They are permanent once installed but can be drilled out if replacement is necessary.
Q4: How is a Blind Rivet Nut installed?
The rivet nut is placed into a pre-drilled hole. A specialized tool (hand or pneumatic) pulls the mandrel through the nut's body, causing the body to collapse, or "set," on the blind side of the material, creating a permanent, tight-fitting threaded insert.
Q5: What is the benefit of a Flat Head design?
The Flat Head has a larger bearing surface than a standard countersunk head, providing a stronger mechanical lock against the material. It also presents a minimal, neat profile once installed, which is preferred for many exposed assemblies.
