If you have concerns about spin-out, then worry no more….you are in good hands with the a hex bodied rivet nut!
HEXNUT® internally threaded inserts are the original trademarked version of “hexagonal body rivet nuts” by Bollhoff. The Bollhoff HEXNUT® fasteners provide the ultimate spin-out resistance when used in a hex hole. Different from the original round body Bollhoff RIVNUT® fasteners, the Bollhoff HEXNUT® features a six-sided body that increases spin-out torque resistance.
Laser a hex hole into your parent material, install our hex body fastener and vanish your worries of spin-out! You could also punch a hex hole into sheet metal and hydro-formed tubing for use of a hex bodied rivet nut using our 9991 hex punch cutting tool. The thick wall construction of a Bollhoff HEXNUT® allows for ultimate tensile and push-out strength. These threaded nut inserts are available in aluminum, steel and stainless steel.

Bollhoff HEXNUT® Product Types
Full Body Hex and Half-Body Hex Product Details:
- Full body HEXNUTS® are often used in high-load and high-torque applications. The actual wall thickness of a full bodied hex rivet nut is very thick, adding to the overall integrity of the entire fastener. At the top of this page, there is a photo that shows a good example of a heavy-duty full bodied hex rivet nut.
- A newer cost-conscious variation is the “half-hex body rivet nut”. Only half the body is hex shaped. The half-hex provides the needed spin-out resistance, but can be manufactured at a lower cost per unit than a traditional full body hex. The top part of the body is hex (which is the part of the body that actually installs into the hex hole) and the bottom part the body is round. Below is a photo of half-hex bodied rivet nuts, the left and middle rivet nut are stainless steel and the rivet nut on the right is steel, zinc yellow plated.
