Why Use Rivet Nuts?
(Bollhoff Rivnut®)

A rivet nut is a counterbored tubular rivet with female internal threads that act as the “nut”. The original trademarked brand name of a rivet nut is the RIVNUT® produced by Bollhoff, which we have been proudly distributing for nearly 40 years.  A rivet nut is designed to be installed into the parent application, which is typically a thin sheet metal or plastic, and during installation, it forms a bulge on the back side of the parent application. The installation takes seconds to occur and no damage nor secondary finishing work is required on the rivet nut nor parent application. Once installed, the rivet nut “squeezes” the front and back of the parent application as to allow a male threaded bolt to be tightened into its female threads. The installed RIVNUT® provides REUSABLE high-quality internal threads for secondary attachments via a threaded bolt. Put another way, RIVNUTS® can be used as a rivet to assemble two or more materials, and as a nut for the secondary removable attachment of a mating part with a male bolt.
