Blind SS rivet nut provides tight joint
Of particular interest in clean rooms and food industry the blind SS rivet nut can be used to create a deep reusable thread in sheet materials and provide a tight joint between two sheets.
The rivet nut thus joins the materials and provides a threaded anchor point for a second component.
The same grip prevents rotation of the rivet to form a reusable deep thread.
A particularly useful application is in fastening parts to frameworks of tube or angle which subsequently has covering panels attached.
Blind rivet nuts are also available which can be used safely with plastics.
All are simple to install using hand or power tools.
Engineers at Torque Control are also available for technical and applications advise on all aspects of blind rivet nuts and tools.
Torque Control not only stock one of the widest ranges of rivet nuts but also supply, for sale or hire, hand and pneumatic insertion tools.
