M4 Revit/Insert Nut - 25 Nos

One-piece blind threaded insert installed from one side of the workpiece, creating load-bearing machine threads in thin-walled materials. Also known as rivnut or nutsert, used in sheet metal, tubing, and composites where through-bolting is not possible.

Benefits #

Rivet nuts solve the critical engineering challenge of creating strong, load-bearing threads in thin-walled materials where only one side of the workpiece is accessible. In sheet metal, tubing, and composite structures, conventional tapping is impossible due to insufficient material thickness, and through-bolting requires access to both sides. Rivet nuts bridge this gap by deforming on the blind side during installation, creating a permanent threaded anchor that accepts standard machine screws and bolts. Installation is fast — up to 15 per minute with pneumatic tools — and requires no heat, welding, or post-processing, eliminating heat-affected zones and distortion that compromise structural integrity. The availability of hex and knurled body styles provides anti-rotation resistance for high-torque applications, while closed-end variants seal against moisture and debris ingress. For automotive, aerospace, and sheet metal fabrication, rivet nuts reduce assembly cost and complexity compared to welded nuts or captive nut cages.

Common Applications #

Rivet nuts are specified wherever strong threads are needed in thin-walled or blind-access structures across metal, composite, and plastic materials.
