Stainless Steel Rivet Nut Fasteners are internally threaded inserts designed to provide strong, durable threads in thin or soft materials where traditional tapping is not feasible. They are widely used in industries such as automotive, aerospace, marine, construction, and metal fabrication, especially where corrosion resistance and blind installation are required.
Key Features
Manufactured from high-quality 304 or 316 stainless steel for excellent corrosion resistance in harsh environments
Provide strong load-bearing threads in sheet metal, tubes, plastics, and composite materials
Enable blind installation from one side of the workpiece, making them ideal for closed-section applications
Offer high resistance to vibration, pull-out, and loosening
Available in a wide range of thread sizes, including metric (M3 to M12) and inch series (6-32 to 1/2-13)
Multiple head styles and body types available, including flat head, countersunk head, round body, and hexagonal body

What is a rivet nut?
A rivet nut, also known as a blind rivet nut or nutsert, is a threaded insert designed to be installed into thin or soft materials to create a strong internal thread, especially when access is only available from one side.
What materials are your rivet nuts made of?
Our rivet nuts are primarily made of high-grade 304 or 316 stainless steel, offering excellent corrosion resistance, durability, and performance in both indoor and outdoor applications.
What industries use stainless steel rivet nut fasteners?
These fasteners are widely used in automotive, marine, aerospace, construction, electronics, furniture, HVAC, and other industries where strong, vibration-resistant and corrosion-proof fastening is required.
What thread sizes are available?
We offer a full range of sizes including metric (M3 to M12) and imperial (6-32 to 1/2-13). Custom sizes can be provided upon request.
Can these rivet nuts be installed manually?
Yes. Stainless steel rivet nuts can be installed using manual, pneumatic, or hydraulic tools depending on volume and application requirements. We also offer tool recommendations for your convenience.
Are these suitable for outdoor and marine environments?
Absolutely. 316 stainless steel rivet nuts, in particular, are ideal for use in marine and highly corrosive environments due to their superior resistance to saltwater and moisture.
