Rivet Nuts
M3-M12 / Custom Specifications Stainless Steel Blind Rivet Nuts for Sheet Metal and OEM Applications
VALTOR supplies stainless steel rivet nuts, blind rivet nuts and threaded insert nuts for sheet metal fabrication, electrical enclosures, machinery covers, hollow sections and OEM hardware assemblies.
Product Overview
Rivet nuts are internally threaded inserts designed to provide strong threaded connection points in thin sheet materials where traditional tapping is not possible.
They are widely used in sheet metal fabrication, electrical enclosures, equipment panels, machinery covers and hollow section assemblies. After installation, rivet nuts create a permanent threaded mounting point that allows screws or bolts to be installed and removed repeatedly.
VALTOR supplies corrosion-resistant 304 and 316 stainless steel rivet nuts in round, knurled and hex body designs. Flat, countersunk and reduced heads, open or closed ends, carbon steel options and customized specifications are available according to project requirements.
Technical Specifications
Blind Installation, Body Style & Grip Range
Blind rivet nuts create a reusable female thread in thin sheet, tubing or hollow sections and are normally installed from one accessible side.
Material, Body & Head Options
Material, body, head, end style, thread and grip range should be selected together for the panel and installation method.
Not every finish applies to every material.
Installation Quality & Inspection
Inspection and sample validation focus on thread, body and head geometry, mounting-hole compatibility, grip range and installed performance.
Thread diameter, pitch, quality and mating-screw fit are verified. Body inspection can cover diameter, length, head, knurl or hex geometry, wall condition and defects. The mounting hole must match the selected diameter, shape, condition and burr control without assuming universal dimensions. Grip range is checked against actual panel thickness. Representative sample installation may assess deformation, head seating, panel clamping, thread condition, alignment and anti-rotation. Pull-out, push-out or torque-out evaluation follows agreed customer methods without invented values or installation forces. Available documentation may include a Material Certificate / MTC, raw material report, dimensional report, installation sample report or third-party support.
OEM Supply, Selection & Packaging
Provide thread, body and head style, open or closed end, panel material and thickness, hole size or shape, material, quantity and environment.
Special threads, grip ranges, body lengths, head or knurl geometry, hex geometry, materials, finishes and drawings can be reviewed. Non-standard parts are not assigned unsupported standard compliance.
Panel drawing, thickness, parent material, hole, installation access and mating screw help confirm body and grip range. Samples can validate fit, deformation, anti-rotation and screw compatibility before bulk production.
Packing should protect internal threads, thin walls, knurled surfaces, head geometry and finishes from pre-installation damage.
Customer labels, part numbers, carton markings, packing quantities and customer-authorized private-label packaging can be supported.
Delivery depends on thread, body and head style, grip range, material, quantity, configuration, sample validation, inspection and current production availability.
Applications
Permanent threaded connections for thin sheet metal, hollow sections and OEM assemblies.
Used for electrical cabinets, control boxes and metal housings requiring reliable threaded fastening points.
Suitable for equipment panels where repeated assembly and maintenance are required.
Used in machine covers and protective panels where direct tapping is difficult.
Applied in fabricated metal structures and hollow sections requiring permanent threaded connections.
Suitable for customized equipment, components and sheet metal manufacturing projects.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between open end and closed end rivet nuts?
Open end rivet nuts allow bolts to pass through and are widely used for general fastening applications. Closed end rivet nuts provide a sealed bottom and are suitable where protection from moisture, dust or contamination is required.
When should I choose hex body rivet nuts instead of round body types?
Hex body rivet nuts provide stronger resistance against rotation and are commonly selected for applications with higher vibration or repeated tightening requirements.
Can you provide samples before bulk production?
Yes. Samples can be provided for checking dimensions, installation performance and application suitability before bulk production.
What packaging options are available?
Products can be packed in inner boxes, cartons, pallets or customized packaging according to customer requirements.
What information is needed for a quotation?
Please provide thread size, material, body style, head type, quantity and application details. Drawings or samples are recommended for customized products.
