Rivet Nuts

Rivet nuts are ideal for installing strong load-bearing threads on thin or weak gauge housings, castings, tubes, panels and extrusions. Raptor Supplies offers a wide variety of AVK and Grainger rivet nuts available in flange diameters ranging from 0.24 to 19.65 inches.

Features

AVK AK Series:

    They feature a minimal head profile that provides virtually flush installations without any special hole preparation. The internal rolled thread manufacturing process promotes superior thread strength. They also deliver exceptional torque strength as the insert's knurled body expands while filling the hole. Inventory reduction is possible because of the AK Series wide grip range capacity. It is 2.5 times greater than conventional rivet nuts.

AVK AT Series:

    Reduced overall length of the installed AT Series Insert allows it to be used in limited clearance applications. Quality installations even in variable thickness materials are assured by our spin/spin torque stall tools. Inventory reduction is possible because one AT Series Insert will work in any thickness material above .030/,76mm. Can be used with Grade 8 / Metric Class 12.9 Screws due to the AT Series high shear load capability.

AVK A-L Series:

    The A-L Series knurled threaded inserts feature a large diameter-low profile head making them ideal for use in punched or drilled holes. They are compatible with Grade 5 or Metric 8.8/9.8 mating screws.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to install AVK inserts?

  • Quarter turn the AVK fastener on the tool mandrel and place it into the hole. Then, press the top trigger on the tool.
  • Once the hole fill is complete, the AVK fastener forms its backside flange behind the parent material and then the tool stalls.
  • Finally, reverse the tool and proceed to attach the mating component using the appropriate hardware. The entire installation sequence of the AVK fastener takes 3 seconds or less.

How to choose a tool that offers faster assembly and lower installation costs?

  • Spin-Spin Tool - The rivet nut is threaded onto the mandrel of the pneumatic power tool and then inserted into the hole. When the tool is activated, the mandrel spins to pull the threaded portion of the shank towards the blind side of the workpiece. This forms a bulge around the unthreaded portion which then pushes against the back of the panel to create a clamping force and grip the sheet. Once the rivet nut is securely clinched in place, the mandrel spins in the opposite direction to unthread itself from the nut, leaving the rivet nut's internal threading intact.
  • Spin-Pull Tool - Similar to the Spin-Spin tool, an air motor is used here to thread the nut onto the mandrel. These tools are great for plastic workpieces.
  • Pull-to-Pressure Tool - This tool is almost similar to the above two except that instead of pulling at a specific distance, it pulls at a set pressure. If you are fastening metal or a hard plastic surface, a pull-to-pressure tool is ideal.

What end types are available on rivet nuts?

Open-end rivet nuts are ideal for load-bearing applications due to their large diameter head. The open end feature offers increased resistance to pull-out when reinforcing the hole. Whereas, in closed-end nuts, the thread area is enclosed eliminating leakage past the threads from either side of the application.
