Coating improves on stainless for rivet nut
When a firm anchorage point was needed for a heavy duty exhaust bracket, Torque Control solved the problem with an M8 Hexagonal Shank, Steel Rivet Nut using a double coating of phosphate deltaseal
Creating a thread in thin metal can be a nightmare, where regular reuse is important.
However the blind rivet nut can provide an economic solution.
When tightened the rivet nut body is designed to undergo controlled deformation, which grips the inside of the mounting surface providing a permanent, reusable thread.
Types can be also selected which can grip two sheets of material, and not necessarily the same material.
Torque Control has an extended range of blind rivet nuts, including types sensitive to soft materials and plastics also provide insertion tools, and tools to cut hexagonal holes for the hexagonal-shank ultimate anti-spin device.
A closed-end type will reduce EMI, halt entry of foreign materials, and provide that high-quality deep reusable thread.
