FAQs
What size drill bit do I need for M8 rivet nuts?
The required drill bit size varies depending on the material thickness. Refer to the manufacturer's specifications for the exact drill size for your application.
What is the recommended torque for tightening bolts into rivet nuts?
The recommended torque depends on the bolt size and the material of the components. Always consult torque specifications for the bolt and material you are using to prevent over-tightening.

What is the lifespan of these rivet nuts?
The lifespan depends on the application and the environment. Properly installed and maintained rivet nuts can last for years.
Are there any special tools required for installation?
Yes, you will need a nut riveter specifically designed for installing rivet nuts. Make sure the riveter is compatible with M8 rivet nuts.
How do I store the rivet nuts?
Store them in a dry place to prevent corrosion. Ensure they are protected from moisture and extreme temperatures.
Troubleshooting
Rivet nut spins when tightening a bolt.
Ensure the rivet nut is correctly installed with a proper nut riveter and that the hole size is correct. Check for any damage to the rivet nut or the material.
Rivet nut does not fully expand.
Check the nut riveter settings and ensure it's compatible with M8 rivet nuts. Apply sufficient force during the installation process.
Rivet nut is loose after installation.
