Reduced Head Rivet Nuts
Reduced Head Rivet Nuts
Reduced Head Rivet Nuts from RivetFast are designed with a smaller head diameter to minimize surface protrusion while still providing reliable internal threads in thin materials. They are ideal for applications with limited space, aesthetic requirements, or clearance constraints where standard flat head rivet nuts are not suitable.
These low-profile blind fasteners are widely used in sheet metal assemblies, enclosures, and lightweight structures across industrial and commercial applications.
This product belongs to our Rivet Nuts range.
What Are Reduced Head Rivet Nuts?
Reduced Head Rivet Nuts are internally threaded blind fasteners featuring a smaller head diameter compared to standard flat head rivet nuts. After installation, the reduced head sits neatly on the surface, providing a clean appearance while maintaining sufficient load-bearing capability.
They are installed from one side only and create a strong mechanical lock on the blind side, making them suitable for thin or inaccessible materials.
