Rivet Nuts for Metric Threads in Sheet Metal
Choose the right rivet nut for the job
Our rivet nuts give you a practical way to create an internal metric thread in sheet metal when the application calls for a threaded fixing point rather than a permanent rivet. This page is built around our Unite blind rivet nut range in M5, M6, M8 and M10.
When choosing the right option, the most important things to compare are thread size, clamp length, hole diameter and the stated tension, shear and torque data. The catalogue below makes those checks simple, so you can move faster from sizing to ordering.
Detailed rivet nut data in our catalogue
The catalogue below gathers the core selection data for our blind rivet nuts on one page. You can compare M5, M6, M8 and M10, check the relevant clamp length and hole diameter, and review the stated tension, shear and torque values before you choose.
Need help choosing the right rivet nut?
If you are choosing between M5, M6, M8 and M10, we can help you match the rivet nut to the sheet thickness, the required thread size and the comparison data that matters before ordering.
That makes it easier to avoid mismatched hole sizes, clamp ranges and thread choices when the job needs to move quickly and the fixing has to be right from the start.
How do I choose between M5, M6, M8 and M10 rivet nuts?
Start with the thread size you need for the final fixing, then compare the matching clamp length, hole diameter and the stated tension, shear and torque data. The right choice is the one that fits both the required thread and the actual material thickness in the application.
Why is clamp length so important when choosing a rivet nut?
Clamp length shows the material-thickness range the rivet nut is intended to work with. If that range does not match the sheet thickness in the job, you risk choosing a fixing that is simply not suited to the material build-up.
What should I check before drilling for a rivet nut?
Check the required hole diameter for the size you plan to use, and make sure the selected rivet nut also matches the actual clamp range of the material. Those two checks should be made before you commit to the size.
Which values matter most when comparing rivet nuts for a project?
The most useful comparison points are normally thread size, clamp length, hole diameter and the stated tension, shear and torque values. Together, they give you a much clearer basis for deciding which rivet nut is the better fit for the fixing requirement.
Can Unite help us choose the right rivet nut for our material thickness and thread requirement?
Yes. We can help you narrow the choice based on the required metric thread, the actual sheet thickness and the table data you need to compare before ordering. That is often the quickest way to get to the right size without unnecessary guesswork.
