Through Hole Hexagonal Rivet Nut

First, drill a hole in the sheet metal. The hole size must match the Through Hole Hexagonal Rivet nut’s outer diameter—too big and it won’t lock, too small will damage the sheet. Clean out any metal shavings left in the hole; they might block installation.

Put the nut into the pre-drilled hole. Make sure its hexagonal part sits flush against the sheet—this stops it from spinning during installation. Use a dedicated riveting tool with a mandrel that fits the nut’s inner thread. Attach the tool to the nut and apply steady pressure.

Keep pressing until you feel the tool release slightly—this means the nut’s tail has expanded and locked onto the sheet’s backside. Then unscrew the tool from the nut. Avoid over-pressing; it can bend the sheet or break the nut. Through Hole Hexagonal Rivet nut is easy to use once you get the hole size right, no complex skills needed for basic jobs.

Product Packaging

We use practical packaging to avoid damage during storage and shipping. For small orders or samples, they’re packed in clear plastic bags. Common quantities are 100 or 200 pieces per bag, each with a simple label noting size, material, and batch number for easy identification.

Bulk orders go into sturdy cardboard cartons. Depending on the nut size, each carton holds 3000 to 8000 pieces. We put bubble wrap or foam padding inside to prevent them from scratching or colliding with each other. Cartons have basic handling marks like “keep dry” to remind logistics workers.

If you need custom packaging—such as specific pieces per bag or your logo on the package—just inform us when placing the order. Simple customizations don’t cost extra. Through Hole Hexagonal Rivet nut’s standard packaging fits most workshops, factories, and DIY users’ needs, no unnecessary fancy designs.

Q&A Session

What size pre-drilled hole is required?

A:The hole size depends on the nut’s outer diameter. For example, M3 nuts need a 4.8mm hole, M5 needs 6.8mm, and M8 needs 10.5mm. We’ll provide a detailed size chart with your order to avoid mismatches. Too small a hole will damage the nut, while too large will make it loose after installation. Just match the hole size to the nut’s spec, and it’ll fit well.
