Blind Rivet Nut

MIS TOOLS BUILDING METAL PRODUCTS TRADING LLC offers long-lasting Blind Rivet Nut fasteners for easy-to-install, extremely secure connections in thin and hard-to-reach materials. If you need a trusted thread in sheet metal, plastic, or composite material that you can only access from one side of the workpiece, Blind Rivet Nuts are your solution.

Whether you are constructing electrical enclosures, aluminum frames, furniture frames, or generator canopies, these fasteners help you with the creation of even threads where regular nuts and bolts just won’t work. 

What is a Blind Rivet Nut?

A Blind Rivet Nut is an odd fastener that creates a secure internal thread in thin stock. It’s like a rivet, going in from one end, and creates a solid, threaded hole where screws or bolts can be screwed in. That makes it perfect when you cannot reach the other side of the material.

It’s widely used where there is a need for strong, removable joints with no welding or complicated tools.

How a Blind Rivet Nut Works

A Blind Rivet Nut works by expanding when it’s being screwed into a pre-drilled hole. How it works is as follows:

Insertion: The rivet nut is screwed into the hole from one side of the material.

Expansion: The rivet nut is expanded by means of a specialized tool, and it holds onto the material firmly.

Thread Formation: Once the expansion is carried out, the internal thread within the rivet nut is developed, creating a firm, threaded hole to be utilized later on.

This step ensures that the rivet nut is securely fastened in position, even when applied to thin or soft material, and provides a firm thread that can withstand mechanical loads.

Key Features of Blind Rivet Nuts

Our Blind Rivet Nut products have the following handy advantages:

One-Side Installation: Convenient when access to the back of the material is restricted.

Strong Threads: Creates a securely threaded hole even in thin or soft material.

Variety of Materials: Suitable for Aluminum, Steel, and Stainless Steel types.

Variety of Sizes: Includes M3 up to M12 for light-duty up to heavy-duty applications.

Corrosion Resistant: Especially with the use of stainless steel models.

Supports Disassembly: Simple to remove and assemble.

Types of Blind Rivet Nuts

There are many types of Blind Rivet Nuts that can be utilized to serve several different applications:

Flanged Blind Rivet Nuts: These have a broad flange that offers even distribution of the load on the surface. They are ideal for use in softer materials where you would want to reduce the likelihood of material distortion.

Flat Blind Rivet Nuts: These are used where a flush finish is needed. The flat geometry diminishes protrusion and is hence ideally used in confined spaces.

Serrated Blind Rivet Nuts: These have serrations on the body that create an even tighter grip in the material. They’re utilized on materials that otherwise cause the rivet nut to slip.

Knurled Blind Rivet Nuts: These are made up of knurling on the outside, and this creates an even tighter grip on the material. They’re best suited for applications where slightly more torque must be attained.

Winged Blind Rivet Nuts: Expanding wings with extra support, which are good for use in softer material where there is additional clamping force needed.

All of them perform a particular use, providing a strong and fixed grip on other materials and areas.

Applications of Blind Rivet Nuts

Blind Rivet Nut fasteners are applied in many different industries, such as:

Electrical Panels & Switchgear: Fixing and removing electrical connections.

Furniture Building: Frame joints where appearance and durability are essential.

Generator Cab Canopies: Hard threads in slender metal fabrication.

Motorcar & Aircraft: Where thinner, yet stronger fastenings are required in thin sheeting.

HVAC and Thin Sheet Metal Fabrication: Where rear access is limited.

How to Install Blind Rivet Nuts

Processing Blind Rivet Nuts involves some procedures to install them correctly so that they are securely positioned and fully functional:

Pre-Drill Holes: Before installation, a hole is pre-drilled in the material to be the same size as the rivet nut.

Insert the Rivet Nut: Insert the rivet nut into the hole on one side of the material.

Install With Tool: To remove the mandrel from the rivet nut, a tool called a rivet nut is employed to pull out the mandrel and expand it, which firmly grips the material.

Recommended tools: 

  • Air tools VNG 703, VNG 903,
  • Bluebird peregrine
  • Battery tool eVng2

Complete the Installation: The nut is locked in place when expanded and is ready to hold bolts or screws.

This is a process by which a strong, reliable thread can be created in material that is too thin or too rigid to be machined using traditional fasteners.
