RS PRO Steel Blind Rivet, 12.9mm

RS PRO Flat Head Part Hexagon Body Open End Blind Rivet Nut

RS PRO introduces a fantastic range of flat head open end blind rivet nuts. Designed to be easily installed and able to secure joints with short clamp lengths, these rivet nuts are engineered to create a mechanical fastening. They are internally threaded and counterbored tubular rivets used to create highly durable threads especially in thin materials. The blind rivet nut can be installed entirely from one side of the material when access is limited to the fixing, unlike machine screws. Flat head rivet nuts are the most common and multifunctional types due to their ease and durability. Designed with a hexagon body which is ideal for situations that need a high resistance thread and anti-rotation is needed.
Made from steel with a zinc plating to ensure weather proofing and high corrosion resistance to elongate the life of your rivet nuts whilst keeping it lightweight and strong. These steel rivet nuts have a wide grip range with strong durability.
Used predominantly in modular buildings, portable wash facilities and plastic pallet and storage solutions.

Features and Benefits

• Made from steel with zinc plating for solid rivets, strong corrosion resistance and structural strength


• Easy and clean installation


• Can be used where only one side of the application is accessible


• Increased grip range 1 mm – 3.5 mm


• Creates a permanent and high tensile structural rivet joint with little effort


• Body diameter 12.9 mm

Applications

Rivet nuts are installed in a similar fashion to blind rivets, driven through pre-drilled holes from one side of a material. The advantage of using rivet nuts is that they do not require hot welding, so they can be installed in metal, plastic, fiberglass, and other materials without a problem. They are used to permanently join two steel, aluminium or copper plates usually in mechanical applications where it is imperative that joints do not become loose and cause failure. They are especially suited for environments where a flush and non-interference fit is necessary and with their hexagonal body design they are ideal for applications that require a high resistance thread and anti-rotation is required. Most common, everyday rivet applications include:
Building and construction
White goods
Transportation and infrastructure
Woodworking and decorative finishing
Fine metalwork
Aviation, aerospace, and automotive
