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.

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.
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.
They are made of steel, so while durable, they should be painted or coated if used in highly corrosive environments to prevent rust.
Yes, a rivet nut tool (or 'nutsert' tool) configured for M8 threads is required to achieve a secure installation.
They are primarily designed for use in metal, including aluminum, steel, and stainless steel sheets.
The installation hole was likely too large or not a true hexagon; ensure the hole matches the hex profile of the fastener exactly.
Check the internal threads for debris or damage; if the rivet was slightly deformed during installation, use an M8 tap to clean the threads.
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.
