Blind Rivet Nut – Inch & Metric
A blind rivnut is a one-piece internally threaded and counterbored tubular rivet that can be anchored entirely from one side. There are two types: one is designed to form a bulge on the backside of the panel as a screw is tightened in its threads. The other is similarly drawn in using a screw but is drawn into the sleeve instead of creating a bulge. These types of blind threaded nutserts are available in inch and metric sizes. The use of blind nutserts has been proven to be an efficient and cost-effective way to fasten a wide range of applications. Other types of fastening methods including bolting, welding, screwing and applying solid rivets all require extensive time and labor.

Blind Threaded Insert Installation Procedures
Blind rivet nuts provide a convenient and effective way to fasten two or more materials, without the hassle of welding or bolting. The process for installing blind nutserts include the following steps:- The blind threaded insert is initially set into place by applying the stem through the shell. This allows the shell to deform and securely clamp the material into place.
- After the desired clamp is attained, the stem breaks off and is no longer required.
- A small portion of the stem remains connected to the bottom of the shell, which allows the proper clamping force to be retained within the joint.
- Specialized hand or pneumatic tools then extract the stem from the blind rivet nut, leaving only the installed rivet.
