M5 Hex Reduced Head Steel Rivet Nut Inserts
The M5 Hex Reduced Head Steel Rivet Nut Insert is a high-strength fastener designed for applications where installation space is limited but strong anti-rotation performance is required. Its hexagonal body ensures excellent resistance to spinning, making it suitable for high-torque environments. The reduced head design minimizes surface exposure, ideal for concealed installations or applications where appearance and component functionality must remain unaffected. With an internal thread size of 5 millimeters, it supports medium-strength fastening needs and is widely used in automotive bodies, sheet metal structures, electrical control panels, and industrial equipment assemblies.
Thread Size: M5 × 0.8 (ISO Metric standard)
Head Style: Reduced flat head – compact flange for low-profile installation
Body Type: Hexagonal shank – provides high torque resistance and anti-rotation security
Material: Carbon Steel – durable and cost-effective for structural applications
Finish: Zinc-plated (clear or yellow) for corrosion resistance
End Type: Open end – allows bolt-through or grounding functionality
Grip Range: Typically 0.5 mm – 3.5 mm (varies by part specification)
Head Diameter: Approx. 7.5 – 8.5 mm (smaller than standard hex flange)
Body Length: Approx. 13 – 16 mm based on grip
Installation Requirements:
Requires pre-punched hexagonal holes
Compatible with manual, pneumatic, or hydraulic rivet nut tools
Key Features:
Reduced flange minimizes head exposure in tight or visible assemblies
Hex body ensures secure lock against rotation in metal substrates
Strong axial and torque load capacity
Automotive Manufacturing: Used in car body panels, interior components, and engine assemblies for providing strong, durable threads in thin materials.
Electronics Industry: Ideal for mounting components and parts in thin metal enclosures, offering strong and reliable fastening points.
Aerospace: Used in aircraft parts where lightweight but strong threaded inserts are required for efficient and secure assembly.
Furniture Industry: Applied for creating threaded holes in metal parts of furniture for easy and sturdy assembly.
Appliance Manufacturing: Used in appliances to provide secure, permanent threads for mounting hardware or accessories.
Marine and Outdoor Equipment: Ideal for fastening in harsh environments, offering corrosion-resistant properties for marine and outdoor applications.
Construction and Heavy Machinery: Used in construction equipment and machinery to secure parts to thin sheet metal or other materials.
Railroad and Transportation: Ensures secure and reliable fastenings in railcars, trailers, and other transport vehicles.
1. What are M5 Hex Reduced Head Steel Rivet Nut Inserts?
M5 Hex Reduced Head Steel Rivet Nut Inserts are threaded inserts designed to provide strong and secure fastening in thin-walled materials. They feature a reduced head design, allowing them to be installed in tight spaces where standard-sized rivet nuts might not fit.
2. What are the advantages of using M5 Hex Reduced Head Rivet Nuts?
- Space-saving design: The reduced head allows for installation in confined spaces.
- Strong thread: Provides a durable and reliable thread in thin materials, enhancing the strength of the connection.
- Corrosion resistance: Often made from steel, they are durable and resistant to corrosion, making them suitable for a range of environments.
3. Can M5 Hex Reduced Head Steel Rivet Nut Inserts be used in high-stress applications?
Yes, they can be used in high-stress applications where strong and durable fastening is required. The steel construction provides strength and resistance to shear forces.
4. How do I select the right rivet nut size for my application?
Consider factors such as material thickness, required load-bearing capacity, environmental conditions, and available space. The M5 size is ideal for smaller applications, but larger sizes may be needed for higher load capacities.
5. Can M5 Hex Reduced Head Rivet Nut Inserts be reused?
While the inserts are designed to be permanent, they can be reused if they have not been damaged during installation. However, overuse or repeated installation in the same hole may compromise the fastening strength.
6. What tools are needed to install M5 Hex Reduced Head Rivet Nut Inserts?
A rivet nut tool, either manual or pneumatic, is needed to install these inserts. The tool will pull and expand the insert into the material, creating a secure and permanent threaded connection.
