Galvanized Rivet Nuts
A rivet nut is a tubular rivet with internal threads that can be installed in a pre-drilled hole. After installation, the rivet nut expands to form a secure anchor point that allows the connection of bolts, screws or other fasteners. This feature makes them particularly useful in applications where access to the back of an assembly is limited or impossible, hence the name “blind”. Xinchi Fastener Company can provide a variety of fasteners, including galvanized rivet nuts. Our blind rivet nuts are safe, durable, resistant -rotation, and user-friendly.

How Rivet Nuts Work?
The operation of a rivet nut involves a simple yet effective mechanism:
- Preparation: First, a hole is drilled into the base material where the rivet nut will be installed. The diameter of the hole should match the specifications of the rivet nut being used.
- Insertion: The rivet nut is inserted into the hole. The flange of the rivet nut rests against the material’s surface, ensuring that it does not slip through during the installation process.
- Installation: Using a rivet nut tool, the mandrel is pulled, causing the body of the rivet nut to deform. This deformation expands the body’s lower part against the base material’s interior. The result is a secure connection, as the expanded portion grips the material tightly.
- Finalizing: Once the mandrel is fully pulled, it breaks off at a predetermined point, leaving the rivet nut securely installed. The internal threads are now exposed and can be used to accept a bolt or screw.
Rivet Nuts Uses
A rivet nut, also known as a blind rivet nut or thread insert, is a fastener designed to provide strong load-bearing threads in materials that are too thin or fragile. Due to their versatility and reliability, they are commonly used in a variety of industries.
- Automotive industry: Rivets and nuts are widely used in the automotive industry for fixing panels, brackets and other components. They provide powerful fastening solutions in areas where traditional welding or tapping is impractical, such as lightweight materials such as aluminum or composites.
- Aerospace Applications: In the aerospace industry, where weight and strength are critical, rivets and nuts connect various aircraft components. Their ability to create safe threads on thin materials makes them ideal for fuselage and wing structures.
- Electronic and electrical: Rivets and nuts are commonly found in the assembly of electronic equipment and household appliances. They allow for easy disassembly and reassembly, making repairs and upgrades more straightforward.
- Furniture manufacturing: In furniture production, rivets and nuts are used to assemble parts safely while keeping them clean and beautiful. They enable designers to create stylish, modern furniture without visible fasteners.
- Building and construction: Rivet nuts are also used to secure metal plates, railings and other structural elements. They provide a strong connection without the need for welding or bulky hardware, which is beneficial in a variety of construction applications.
Benefits of Using Rivet Nuts
Rivet nuts offer several advantages that make them a preferred choice for many applications:
- Strong and Durable: Once installed, rivet nuts provide a strong threaded connection that can withstand significant loads.
- Blind Installation: They can be installed in locations where access to the opposite side of the material is limited, making them ideal for thin or enclosed spaces.
- Versatile: Rivet nuts can be used with various materials, including metals, plastics, and composites, making them suitable for diverse applications.
- Cost-Effective: The installation process is quick and requires minimal tools, reducing labor costs and installation time.
