FAQs

What size bolt does an M5 x 0.8 riveting nut accept?

An M5 x 0.8 riveting nut is designed to accept standard M5 bolts or screws.

What is the minimum and maximum material thickness for these nuts?

The optimal material thickness range for M5 riveting nuts is typically between 0.5mm and 6.5mm, but this can vary slightly depending on the specific nut riveter tool used.

Can I use these riveting nuts on steel materials?

Yes, they can be used on steel, provided the steel thickness is within the recommended range and your nut riveting tool has sufficient power to set the nut.

What is the difference between riveting nuts and regular nuts?

Riveting nuts are inserted into a pre-drilled hole and deformed by a special tool to create a permanent threaded insert, while regular nuts are typically used with bolts that pass through two or more pieces of material.

How do I ensure the riveting nut is installed straight?

Ensure the nut is started straight on the mandrel and that the drilled hole is perpendicular to the material surface. Apply steady, even pressure during the setting process.

Are these suitable for outdoor applications?

The aluminium construction offers good corrosion resistance, making them suitable for many outdoor applications where they will not be subjected to extreme conditions or harsh chemicals.

Troubleshooting

Riveting nut spins in the hole

The hole may be too large, or the material too thin. Ensure the correct drill bit size was used and that the material thickness is within the recommended range for the riveting nut and tool.

Riveting tool not setting the nut properly

Check that the nut is correctly seated on the tool's mandrel. Ensure the tool's jaws are clean and functioning correctly. The material might be too hard or too thick for the tool's capacity.

Thread is damaged after setting

This can occur if the mandrel was not fully retracted or if excessive force was used. Ensure the mandrel is backed out smoothly after setting. Check for debris in the thread before inserting a bolt.

Riveting nut is loose

Insufficient pressure was applied during the riveting process. Re-attempt installation, ensuring a firm and consistent squeeze of the tool's handles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure you have a compatible nut riveting tool.
  2. Select the appropriate drill bit size for the hole required by the M5 riveting nut (consult your tool's manual for precise specifications).
  3. Drill a clean hole in the material where the riveting nut will be placed.
  4. Thread the M5 riveting nut onto the mandrel of your nut riveter tool.
  5. Insert the mandrel through the drilled hole.
  6. Squeeze the handles of the nut riveter tool firmly and consistently until the nut is seated and formed.
  7. Retract the mandrel by turning it counter-clockwise.

Compatibility:

These M5 x 0.8 riveting nuts are designed to work with nut riveting tools that support M5 threaded mandrels. They are specifically recommended for use with the Laser Tools nut riveting tool part number LAS0959, but are also compatible with many other brands of nut riveting tools that can accommodate this size.

Care:

Store these riveting nuts in a dry environment to prevent corrosion. Clean any debris from the drilled hole before installation. After installation, treat the fastened area as you would any other threaded connection.
