Introduction
A rivet nut, also known as a blind rivet nut, or rivnut, is a one-piece internally threaded and counter bored tubular rivet that can be anchored entirely from one side. It is a kind of threaded insert. There are two types: one is designed to form a bulge on the back side 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.

Application
In the field of aviation, rivet nuts are often used to attach various items, such as static dischargers and inspection access covers, to the surface of an aircraft. Rivet nuts are an ideal replacement for weld nuts because they will not distort base materials, eliminate weld splatter, toxic fumes, and other by-products of the welding process, and can be installed in many different kinds of material including steel, plastic, composites, and fiberglass.
These fasteners are designed to be automated and are used widely throughout the automotive industry to attach items to dashboards, as well as in the chassis and bodywork to connect roof racks, spoilers, plastic fenders, radiators, and more. Rivet nuts are also perfect for every stage of production with no reworking needed after insertion—even when the workpiece has already been coated or painted. Some other industries and applications:Refrigerators;Playground equipment;Office furniture;Solar panel installation;Medical technology;Plastics engineering;Electronics;Bicycles;Aerospace industry;Military vehicles;Boats;Swimming pools.
Features
Wide front-side flange: This rivet nut feature offers a large load-bearing surface to both reinforce the hole and keep the rivet nut from being pushed through.
Thick flange: This feature can provide spacing and extra push-out strength.
Countersunk/low-profile head: With this feature, you ensure an installation that is nearly or completely flush.
Wedge head: Wedges underneath the head keep the fastener from turning in the hole by “biting” into the mating material. This feature is great for soft materials such as plastic, fiberglass, or aluminum.
Shape: Rivet nuts come in splined, square, hexagonal, and the standard smooth, round cylindrical style. Each style is meant to keep the fastener from turning at high torque levels, especially in softer materials.
Open or closed: Rivet nuts come in open- and closed-end styles, with the latter preventing water and dust getting into the assembly, such as with an automotive installation.
Thin or thick wall: Whereas thick wall rivet nuts (also known as standard style) offer keyed heads, thin wall rivet nuts do not.
