Nutsert, Rivnut, Rivet Nut = Different Names, Same Reliable Product
While customers may refer to them differently – Nutserts, Rivnuts, or Rivet Nuts – but these terms all point to the same reliable fastening product - a type of internally threaded insert. The nutsert is specifically designed to be installed in sheet metal, fibreglass, plastics, and other composite materials to create a secure and permanent captive thread. Assembly applications include automotive, electrical engineering, sheet metal, domestic appliances and general fabrication.
Rivnut
The first rivnut was created by BF Goodrich in the 1930s and sold under the trademark Rivnut®. Although rivnut is now a trademark of BÖllhoff Inc., USA, it has become a generic name for any blind threaded insert with a body and flange.
How do nutserts work?
A nutsert offers a versatile alternative to a conventional nut, allowing you to create strong threads in thin sheets where drilling and tapping may not be effective. Once installed, it enables the easy and secure joining of multiple materials with a bolt or screw. Nutserts are installed from one side, making them exceptionally handy for creating a permanent thread in tubular materials or where access is limited to one side.
How to install nutserts?
Nutserts can be easily installed using a manual, cordless, or air nutsert gun by following these simple steps:
- First, thread the nutsert onto the mandrel of your tool of the matching size.
- Next, place the nutsert into the pre-prepared hole in the material.
- As you draw the mandrel into the tool, the nutsert is securely compressed.
- After installation, unthread the mandrel and tool from the workpiece.
The result is a strong, load-bearing thread, ready to connect to other materials confidently.
How strong are nutserts?
The strength of a nutsert is determined through a variety of measurements:
- Maximum Tightening Torque
- Pull-Out Strength
- Push-Out Strength
Maximum tightening torque is the force applied to the nutsert when installing a bolt or screw before spinning or causing the thread to fail under load. Typical values are provided on our datasheets.
Pull-out and push-out strength is the approximate force required to cause the nutsert to fail by being pushed or pulled out of the parent material. This can also be influenced by the strength or rigidity of the parent material itself.
How to install nutserts without a proper nutsert tool?
While it’s possible to install some nutserts using homemade or DIY tools, we strongly recommend using the appropriate tool for the best results. For low-volume installations, affordable manual tools are readily available. For high-volume or larger-diameter nutserts, a cordless or air tool is an excellent choice to ensure efficiency and precision.
How to remove rivet nuts?
Once installed, a rivet nut is designed to stay securely in place. While it can be removed by carefully drilling or grinding the head, it's important to note that this may carry a risk of surface damage or hole deformation.
Choosing the Correct Rivet Nut
The most crucial attribute when choosing a rivet nut is the grip range, which refers to the material thickness into which the rivet nut is inserted. Other attributes that need to be checked are hole size, material, body style, and flange/head size. Read 5 Things to Remember to Make the Most of Rivet Nuts for more information.
