FAQs

What material are these rivet nuts made from?

They are made from durable zinc-plated steel, offering good strength and corrosion resistance.

What is the suitable material thickness for these rivet nuts?

These rivet nuts are designed for material thicknesses ranging from 0.5mm to 2.5mm.

What size bolt do I need to use with these rivet nuts?

You will need to use standard M5 x 0.8mm pitch bolts or screws.

Do I need a special tool to install these rivet nuts?

Yes, you will need a rivet nut installation tool with an M5 mandrel to properly set these fasteners.

What does 'splined' mean in the product description?

The 'splined' design refers to the ribs or grooves on the body of the rivet nut, which help prevent it from rotating or spinning after installation, ensuring a more secure hold.

Can these be used in wood?

While primarily designed for sheet metal and plastics, they can be used in wood if the thickness falls within the 0.5mm to 2.5mm range and the wood is dense enough to support the splined grip.

How many rivet nuts are included in this pack?

This pack contains 50 M5 x 0.8mm splined threaded insert rivet nuts.

Troubleshooting

Rivet nut spins during installation.

Ensure the rivet nut is fully seated within the material's grip range and that the splines are engaged. Check that the hole size is correct for the rivet nut diameter.

Tool does not set the rivet nut properly.

Verify that the rivet nut installation tool is set correctly for M5 size and that the mandrel is clean and properly aligned. Check the tool's pressure or stroke adjustment if applicable.

Threaded hole is damaged after setting.

This may indicate the material was too thin for the rivet nut, or excessive force was used. Ensure the material thickness is within the 0.5mm-2.5mm range and follow installation guidelines.

Bolt does not thread smoothly into the installed rivet nut.

Inspect the installed rivet nut for any deformation or cross-threading. Ensure you are using a correct M5 x 0.8mm pitch bolt. Remove and reinstall if damage is present.
