Flat Head Rivet Nuts
Flat Head Rivet Nuts
Flat Head Rivet Nuts from RivetFast are designed to sit flush with the material surface after installation, providing a clean appearance and even load distribution. They are widely used in thin sheet metal, tubular components, and panels where welding or tapping is not practical.
This type of rivet nut is available in a wide range of body styles, end types, materials, and thread standards, making it suitable for diverse industrial fastening applications requiring strength, consistency, and easy blind-side installation.
This product belongs to our Rivet Nuts range.
What Are Flat Head Rivet Nuts?
Flat Head Rivet Nuts are internally threaded blind fasteners with a wide, flat head that sits flush or nearly flush with the surface of the base material after installation. During installation, the body deforms on the blind side to create a strong mechanical lock, providing durable internal threads without the need for backside access.
They are particularly suitable for applications where surface appearance, load distribution, and limited material thickness are important.
