Metric A2 Stainless Half Hex Reduced Head Riv Nuts

Product Description

Metric A2 stainless steel half hex reduced head riv nuts with a standard metric coarse internal thread.

These blind threaded inserts are designed to create a reusable female thread in thin sheet, panels, box section and hollow sections where access is only available from one side. The half-hex body helps resist rotation in a correctly prepared hexagonal hole, while the reduced head gives a lower-profile finish than a standard flange riv nut.

For best results, install using a suitable riv nut setting tool and the correct hole form for the selected insert. Half-hex riv nuts are intended for use in a prepared hexagonal hole to provide improved resistance to spinning compared with plain round-bodied inserts.

Reduced head riv nuts sit with a smaller flange than standard head riv nuts, making them useful where a neater, lower-profile fixing is required.

A2 stainless steel provides good corrosion resistance for general indoor and outdoor applications. For marine, coastal or highly corrosive environments, A4 stainless steel may be more suitable.
