Rivet Nut Stud

A rivet nut stud is a threaded fastener that can be installed in thin materials to provide a strong threaded hole. It often has a stud that extends from the surface.

A rivet nut stud sets into a thin sheet and provides a male thread on the far side. It takes a nut or a tapped part of the same thread. The stud often needs a setting tool to compress it into the hole.

This kind of part is often made in steel or stainless steel. Stainless steel offers better corrosion resistance for outdoor use.

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 to confirm the material and dimensions. On receipt, check the stud for correct thread and length.
