Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This 8-32 UNC coarse thread ribbed rivet nut delivers exceptional engineering value in demanding metal fastening applications. The 18-8 Stainless Steel construction provides inherent corrosion resistance, crucial for automotive underbody components and industrial equipment exposed to moisture or chemicals. The ribbed body design significantly increases pull-out resistance by creating multiple engagement points within the host material, effectively solving common vibration-induced loosening problems. With its right-hand thread direction and Class 2B thread fit, this rivet nut ensures smooth installation while maintaining precise thread engagement for reliable performance in sheet metal assemblies from 0.08" to 0.13" thickness. The open end design accommodates through-bolting applications, while the integrated flange distributes clamping force evenly to prevent material deformation.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This rivet nut features precise Class 2B thread fit according to UNC standards, ensuring consistent thread engagement and reliable performance. Critical dimensions include body diameter of 0.27", flange diameter of 0.39", and installed length of 0.305". The product is manufactured to comply with REACH (EC 1907/2006) and RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) environmental directives, confirming its suitability for regulated industries and international markets. Installation requires a 17/64" drill bit (0.2656" diameter) for proper hole preparation in metal substrates.
