M5 Knurled Flat Head Flanged Rivet Nut
The M5 knurled flat head flanged rivet nut is a versatile threaded insert designed for thin metal sheets and soft materials. Featuring a low-profile flat flange and knurled body, it offers excellent resistance to spinning during installation. This rivet nut provides a strong, permanent thread and is ideal for applications where a flush surface finish is required. Suitable for use in automotive, furniture, electronics, and general fabrication industries.
Thread Size: M5
Material: Carbon steel (zinc-plated for corrosion resistance)
Head Style: Flat head with flange – offers large bearing surface for secure load distribution
Body Style: Knurled shank – enhances grip and prevents spinning during installation
Drill Hole Size: Typically 7.0 – 7.1 mm (always check manufacturer specs)
Grip Range: Ideal for sheet thicknesses ranging from 0.5 mm to 3.0 mm
Installation Method: Compatible with manual and pneumatic rivet nut tools
Finish: Zinc-plated or plain finish available
Automotive Industry: Ideal for fastening sheet metal parts in car bodies, chassis, and interior panels.
Metal Fabrication: Commonly used in enclosures, metal boxes, and structural frames where back access is limited.
Electronics & Electrical Panels: Provides secure threads in control boxes, casings, and terminal boards.
Furniture Manufacturing: Enables clean and flush-mounted threaded connections in metal and composite furniture parts.
Appliances & HVAC: Used in fastening sheet components in air conditioners, heaters, and home appliances.
General Engineering: Suitable for repair, retrofitting, and assembly of machines and structures using thin sheet materials.
1. What drill size is suitable for installing an M5 knurled flat head flanged rivet nut?
The recommended drill hole size is 7.0mm. Always check the specific product datasheet to confirm optimal fit.
2. What material thickness can this rivet nut be installed into?
Typically suitable for 0.5mm to 3.5mm thick materials, depending on the grip range of the specific variant.
3. What are the advantages of the knurled body design?
The knurled body increases friction between the nut and the base material, significantly improving resistance to spinning during installation and use.
4. Is this rivet nut suitable for high-vibration environments?
Yes, when properly installed, the knurled design and flat flanged head provide excellent resistance to loosening under vibration, especially when combined with thread-locking fasteners.
5. Can this rivet nut be installed manually?
Yes, it can be installed using a manual rivet nut tool or a pneumatic/electric rivet nut gun. Manual installation is suitable for low-volume tasks.
6. What materials are compatible with this steel rivet nut?
It can be installed in aluminum, steel, stainless steel, and plastic panels, provided the material thickness is within the specified range.
7. Is it reusable after removal?
No, rivet nuts are typically single-use components. Once removed, a new rivet nut should be installed for maximum reliability.
