Blind Rivet Nuts provide load-bearing threads in thin sheet materials that are too thin for a tapped thread. They are called “blind” because they can be installed from one side of the workpiece. Once the rivet nut is installed, additional components can be attached using threaded fasteners.
NEW in 2024: Sherex now provides ATLAS® rivet nuts in its catalog! ATLAS® rivet nuts by PennEngineering® include its popular SpinTite®, MaxTite®, and Plus+Tite® line of rivet nuts. These products and more are now available through Sherex!
