The Bollhoff PLUSNUT® provides the ultimate pull out strength in thin sheet metals and soft plastics. It features a slotted body that splits into four legs during installation, which helps provide a wide load-bearing surface on the backside of the parent material. This splitting is why they are sometimes referred to as split rivet nuts.
Rivet Nut USA™ (an operating division of Cardinal Components, Inc.) is a Preferred Authorized Bollhoff Distributor of the Bollhoff PLUSNUT®. PLUSNUT® fasteners are the original trademarked version of “slotted body rivet nuts” by Bollhoff. To provide our customers the best availability and variety, we also offer non-Bollhoff slotted body rivet nuts & fasteners. We’re the largest in-stock specialty fastener distributor in the USA.
The PLUSNUT® features the widest material grip range of all blind threaded fasteners (nearly a quarter of an inch!) A wide material grip range is helpful when your application may have variable material thicknesses, such as thermoformed, rotational or blow molded plastics. Sprinter or work van enthusiasts prefer the PLUSNUT® as their go-to internally threaded slotted body rivet nut fastener solution.
Rivet Nut USA™ stocks a selection of installation tools for easy-to-use and reliable PLUSNUT® installation such as our pneumatic nut insert tools (4090P & 6703P), manual hand tools (C1000, C7000 & 140-2000). Check out our “Install Tools” page for more information.
The Pre-Bulbed PLUSNUT® is a version that offers very low installation load force. This version is ideal for consumer-centric applications, such as outfitting a pick-up truck or boat with an aftermarket accessory. Package the Pre-Bulbed PLUSNUT® fasteners with the C1000 tool to create a kit that each of your customers can use!
