These are M5 threaded inserts, meaning they accept standard 5mm bolts.
Yes, a rivet nut setting tool is required to expand the insert correctly.
These are specifically designed for thin metals and plastics; they may not provide sufficient grip in wood.
The inserts are made of high-quality aluminium and are naturally resistant to rust and corrosion.
Each pack contains 100 individual M5 rivet nut inserts.
Yes, their cold-installation method prevents heat distortion, making them perfect for finished surfaces.
The hole was likely drilled too large. Use a slightly smaller hole for the next installation to ensure the serrations bite into the material.
Check the alignment of the bolt and ensure there is no metal debris or paint overspray inside the rivet nut thread.
Installation requires a manual or pneumatic rivet nut setting tool. First, drill a hole matching the outer diameter of the sleeve. Insert the nut into the workpiece and use the tool to collapse the sleeve against the backside of the material. Once installed, the M5 internal thread is ready to accept any standard M5 bolt. No additional maintenance is required, though you should verify that the mating bolts are kept free of debris to prevent cross-threading the aluminium insert.
