Multi Grip Threaded Insert

A multi grip threaded insert is a rivet nut that sets over a wider range of sheet thicknesses than a standard insert. It provides a threaded fixing point in thin or variable thickness material.

A multi grip threaded insert sets a threaded hole in sheet of different thicknesses. It takes a setting tool that pulls the insert and upsets the body against the rear face. A splined insert resists turning in the hole after it is set.

A multi grip threaded insert is often made in aluminium, steel, stainless steel 304 or stainless steel 316. Stainless steel grades resist corrosion and suit damp or outdoor work. Aluminium is light and suits softer base materials.

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 and a mill test certificate for the material grade. On receipt, check the grip range markings and the thread condition. Confirm the material grade and thread size match the order.
