1. What is the recommended hole size for installing an M5 knurled reduced head rivet nut?
The ideal hole size is 7.0mm, ensuring a snug fit that maximizes the knurled body’s anti-rotation grip.
2. Can this rivet nut be used in soft materials like aluminum or plastic?
Yes, the knurled body provides excellent grip even in softer materials, but it’s best suited for thin metal or composite panels.
3. What tools are needed for installation?
A hand rivet nut tool or pneumatic rivet nut gun (compatible with M5) is required to properly deform and secure the rivet nut in place.
4. Is the reduced head suitable for flush mounting?
Yes, the reduced head design sits closer to the panel surface, making it ideal for applications where low profile is preferred.
5. Is this rivet nut reusable after installation?
While the internal threads can be reused for multiple screw insertions, the rivet nut itself is not designed for removal and reinstallation.
6. Does this type provide strong resistance against spinning?
Yes, the knurled body enhances anti-rotation, especially in round holes, reducing the risk of spinning under torque.
