Eurosert

A Eurosert is a type of rivet nut, also known as a threaded insert. It provides a permanent thread in thin sheet material. Euroserts come in low profile and large flange forms.

A rivet nut sets into a drilled hole in thin sheet or tube. It gives a permanent threaded hole where a tapped thread is not practical. It takes a machine screw of the same thread, and it is set with a setting tool.

Rivet nuts are usually made in steel, stainless steel or aluminium. Steel offers high strength, stainless steel resists corrosion, and aluminium is lightweight. Choose the material to suit the joint and the environment.

This is a general guide to checking this kind of part. It says nothing about any supplier's parts.

Ask for a certificate of conformance for the rivet nuts. Check the thread with a go and no-go gauge. On receipt, inspect for cracks, burrs and correct flange shape.
