Countersunk, Hex Head

Rivet Nut Countersunk - A2 Stainless - Open End Semi-Hex Head

This semi-hex body style is considered “heavy duty”, the best protection against loosening (vs the ribbed body style on many of our other rivets). When tightening a screw into the rivet nut, the hex shaped portion of the body holds the nut in place so that it won’t turn, creating a roll and twist resistance solution. 

Rivet nuts are great for applications where you have access (can drill a hole) on only one side. During install, the threaded portion of the rivet nut collapses into the upper portion of the barrel, this creates a flange on the underside / backside of the material that holds the nut in place. 

Rivet nut-serts are installed into a punched or drilled hole by using a rivet nut installation tool. Great for sheet metal that is too thin to hold a thread pattern. Also known as hex or partial hex blind insert nut-sert. 

Hex Head Style: Low Profile, Countersunk

Good for low clearance, reduced surface area applications where a recessed, flush finish is required. 

Open Thread Body

The end of this rivet nut is open, meaning a screw or bolt can pass completely through the nut. If your application requires a thread-sealed install, please consider one of our closed-body rivet nut styles.
