How to Install a Blind Rivet Nut

A blind rivet nut is a fastener commonly used for fixing components onto thin plates, and its installation requires some attention. As a professional fastener manufacturer, XINCHI will happily guide you through installing a blind rivet nut.

Preparation: Before installing the blind rivet nut, you need to prepare the appropriate nozzle. The nut and bolt must match, so it is essential to choose the correct nozzle and bolt based on the size of the nut to ensure all parts are securely connected.

Adjustment: Next, adjust the length according to the scale ring on the nozzle. Open the two handles and adjust the nozzle sleeve. After this, insert the nut onto the bolt’s top end and tighten it securely. Then, push the bolt, which will rotate the bolt tightly. Insert the nut into the pre-drilled hole and press down on the two handles. This action will cause the nut to expand, completing the installation of the nut.

Tightening: During the installation process, if you notice the nut becoming loose, tighten it immediately. After use, be sure to protect the bolt to prevent damage.

Alternative Method: You can also use a pneumatic blind rivet tool, which allows both forward and reverse rotation. This tool can be switched at any time. Different sizes of blind rivet nuts correspond to different tool heads.
