Rivet Nuts
Rivet nuts are often referred to as nutserts, threaded inserts, rivnuts, or blind rivet nuts. The blind rivet nut’s one-piece design allows it to be securely anchored from a single side to the material it’s attached to. These highly functional fasteners are available in a variety of styles, sizes and materials. These blind threaded inserts (rivet nuts) can also be used in a wide range of steel, fiberglass, plastic, and composite applications since the rivnut will not distort the base structure of these materials when properly matched.
Depending on your specific project needs, Monroe-JHP Fasteners provides threaded inserts (rivet nuts) in various dimensions, styles, and sizes. These unique threaded inserts can feature increased torque strength across numerous grip ranges while being utilized in a wide array of applications. These advantages along with a simple, low-hassle installation process, can save significant time over other types of fasteners that require larger pieces of stand-alone equipment to install. At Monroe-JHP Fasteners we provide you with premium grade riv nuts in a variety of material options and configurations at the industry’s most competitive prices.

Threaded Insert Material Variations for your Specific Application Needs
Blind nutserts are available as open or closed end nuts. A closed-end nutsert completely seals out the back end of the nutsert to keep out environmental debris. A sealant can also be added to protect against moisture and lubricants. At Monroe-JHP we have rivet nut variations to suit almost any application, however, choosing the right rivet nut for your application depends on several factors:- torque value
- grip range
- rivet material
- smooth, ribbed, or hex body style
- parent (host) material
- application environment
- strength of the rivet
- size of rivet
Aluminum Threaded Rivnuts
Aluminum blind nutserts are easy to install and do not require any type of specific finishing work. Once installed, the aluminum nutserts provide clean internal threads for simplified connections. Some of the benefits that threaded inserts for aluminum nutserts provide, include:- Decreased weight
- Corrosion resistant
- High electrical & thermal conductivity
Stainless Steel Threaded Nutserts
Stainless steel nutserts are commonly used for applications that require high strength and good corrosion resistance. Some of the benefits of stainless steel rivet nuts, include:- High strength
- Excellent corrosion resistance
- Proven durability
- Good fire & heat resistance
- Strength to weight advantages
Brass Nutserts
Brass threaded rivnuts are regularly utilized for applications that require a metal with extremely versatile characteristics. Since steel/zinc threaded nutserts for sheet metal can be installed quickly and effectively, they can be used for a wide range of fastener applications. Some of the additional advantages that steel/zinc offers include:- Resistance to corrosion
- Good malleability
- Excellent high temperature tolerance
- Extremely versatile
Nutsert Material Variations & Options
Nutserts from Monroe-JHP Fasteners are generally made from steel, aluminum or stainless materials and are available with a variety of finishes. The rivnut you require will be determined by its application and the thickness of the material it will be attached to. Blind riv nuts are ideal for blind-hole applications in which one side of the host material is not accessible. Applications using screws and nuts need excess hardware that rivet nuts don’t need.

Threaded Insert Installation Process
Inch or metric blind rivnuts are installed through a compression process of the nut onto the material, which can be achieved with a rivet nut tool which squeezes the nut with parallel or “in-line” forces. In addition, performance matched torque values can be achieved with the proper selection of nutsert body styles including smooth, ribbed, swage and hex.For more specific information on our blind rivet nuts, view our rivet nut line card.
