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 part hexagon body and a flat head which is ideal for situations that need a good load bearing area and where high resistance thread and anti-rotation is required.
Made from A2 stainless steel to ensure high corrosion resistance to elongate the life of your rivet nuts whilst keeping it lightweight and strong. These steel rivet nuts are marine grade and 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 A2 stainless steel 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 – 4 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 good load bearing area is required and are ideal in boxed or enclosed applications where there is reduced access. Rivet nuts are used in a variety of industries including:
Chemical
White goods
Transportation and infrastructure
Manufacture of heavy goods
Bumper systems
Seating and vehicle chassis
