Heavy-duty MaxTite threaded rivet nuts feature a thicker head and heavier wall than standard rivet nuts for use in demanding high-load applications.

Heavy-duty Atlas MaxTite threaded rivet nuts feature a thicker head and heavier wall than standard rivet nuts for use in demanding high-load applications.

These fasteners are designed to provide strong, permanent metal threads in "blind" attachment applications, where only one side of a workpiece is accessible for fastener installation and final component assembly.

They can serve as practical alternatives to tapped holes, weld nuts, rivets, and self-drilling or tapping screws.

Installed from the accessible "front" side of a workpiece, Atlas MaxTite threaded rivet nuts can be used in panels as thin as 0.51mm.

Their use eliminates any need for additional hardware beyond a mating screw to complete component attachment.

Available types include flathead and countersunk (with the countersunk feature enabling the fastener to be installed flush with the surface of a sheet).

Rib or key features are offered for high-torque applications.

Thread sizes range from 4-40 to 0.5in-13 and M3 to M12.

Unlike weld nuts or press-in type nuts, Atlas MaxTite threaded rivet nuts can be installed permanently anywhere and at any stage in the shop or field using a handheld portable tool.
