Bollhoff Rivkle Seal Ring, Waterproof Rivet NutThe RIVKLE® Seal Ring technology is an assembly solution which features a captive sealing o-ring for simple and reliable installation, even working with automatic high-volume robotic blow‑feed installations. The installed rivet nut is robust, offering a waterproof seal against the penetration of liquids, meeting the requirements of standard ISO 20653 and automotive quality requirements. All of our products are proof tested with air pressure as well, meaning that in most to all instances, the installed waterproof rivet nut is sealed against any air or gases too!

Our new range of tight RIVKLE® Seal Ring rivet nuts protects your assemblies from external environmental factors (water, rain, salt, air, gases, etc…), which ensures waterproofing against all fluids. These O-ring sealing benefits are optimal in Electric Vehicle (EV) battery packs, which require a total seal from any environmental factors forcing their way into the battery pack to prevent early corrosion of the batteries.

Furthermore, it retains the performance of RIVKLE® fasteners over time (metal-to-metal contact). By watching the videos below on this webpage, the rivet nut has a special patented notch that allows the O-ring to completely mold into and be 100% housed within the rivet nut head. The O-ring then is protected 100% from all outside environmental factors that could create early aging of the rubber O-ring (such as air or temperatures, making the rubber brittle and resulting in the O-ring being comprised, which could allow liquids  into the enclosure, such as an EV battery pack).
