The Bollhoff RIVKLE® is similar to the original styled Rivnut® product line, but features standard European design for “true metric” hole sizes. As a global company, Bollhoff manufactures a wide variety of styles and thread sizes of Rivnut® fasteners, including the Bollhoff RIVKLE®. Rivet Nut USA distributes the entire RIVKLE® product line, which includes a number of materials such as steel, aluminum and stainless steel, body styles such as round, half-hex, full hex and head thickness such as standard, thin, super-thin and countersunk.

Rivet Nut USA (an operating division of Cardinal Components, Inc.) is YOUR Preferred Authorized Bollhoff Distributor of all Bollhoff products, including the Bollhoff RIVKLE®. To provide our customers the best availability and variety, we also offer non-Bollhoff rivet nuts & fasteners.

RIVKLE® Features

  • Multiple head thicknesses to provide increased load bearing (large head) or near countersunk benefits while saving the secondary option of actually having to add a countersink feature (extra small / thin head)
  • Fasteners are manufactured with proven six sigma quality processes and provides consistency in fastener that allows for automated robotic assembly to succeed in demanding, high volume OEM production environments.
  • Increased turning resistance (ribbed body) or super spin out resistance (hex body).
  • Superior corrosion resistance (stainless steel) and high temperature compatibility.
