Product Information

Full details

The JRP Riveting Products M8 x 18.0 rivet nuts are designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts who require secure, permanent threaded fastening points in thin sheet metal or tubular materials. These fasteners excel by providing superior torque resistance through their hexagon body design, ensuring they remain stationary during installation and bolt tightening; however, they require a specific hexagonal hole punch to be installed correctly, which may necessitate specialized tooling compared to standard round-hole rivet nuts.

FAQs

Can I use a standard round drill bit to install these?

No, these require a hexagonal hole to take advantage of their anti-rotation properties. Using a round hole will negate the primary benefit of the hex body.

What is the grip range for these rivet nuts?

The M8 x 18.0 specification refers to the internal thread and length; always verify your sheet metal thickness against the manufacturer's data sheet for the specific grip range.

Are these suitable for outdoor use?

They are made of steel, so while durable, they should be painted or coated if used in highly corrosive environments to prevent rust.

Do I need a special tool to install these?

Yes, a rivet nut tool (or 'nutsert' tool) configured for M8 threads is required to achieve a secure installation.

What material is this rivet nut compatible with?

They are primarily designed for use in metal, including aluminum, steel, and stainless steel sheets.

Troubleshooting

The rivet nut spins during bolt installation

The installation hole was likely too large or not a true hexagon; ensure the hole matches the hex profile of the fastener exactly.

Bolt will not thread into the rivet nut

Check the internal threads for debris or damage; if the rivet was slightly deformed during installation, use an M8 tap to clean the threads.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior torque resistance due to the hexagon body design
  • Flush-mount finish provides a clean, snag-free aesthetic
  • Open-end design allows for versatile bolt length usage
  • Ideal for creating threads in thin-gauge metal where tapping is not possible

Cons

  • Requires a precise hexagonal hole rather than a standard drill bit
  • Needs specific installation tool for hexagon-style rivets
  • Not suitable for applications requiring a sealed or waterproof environment

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install these rivet nuts, you must first create a hexagonal hole using a punch tool or a specialized hexagonal drill template. Once the hole is ready, insert the rivet nut and use an M8-compatible riveting tool to collapse the body behind the panel. Avoid over-tightening the installation tool, as this can strip the internal threads. For long-term care, apply a small amount of anti-seize compound to your bolts if the application is exposed to outdoor weather or road salt to prevent galvanic corrosion between the steel rivet and the steel bolt.
