How to Choose the Right Rivetnut Tool
Choosing the right rivetnut tool helps ensure that the rivet nut can be installed correctly and efficiently.
Rivet Nut Size
Check the diameter and thread size of the rivet nut you need to install. The selected rivetnut tool must be compatible with the relevant rivet nut specifications.
Rivet Nut Material
Consider whether the rivet nut is made from aluminium, steel, stainless steel or another material, as this can affect installation requirements.
Material Thickness
Check the thickness of the material into which the rivet nut will be installed and ensure the selected tool is suitable for the application.
Installation Volume
Consider how frequently the rivetnut tool will be used. Manual tools can be suitable for lower-volume applications, while pneumatic equipment may be more appropriate for repeated production work.
Application Access
Rivet nut tools are particularly useful where access to the rear of the assembly is restricted.
Tool Compatibility
Always confirm that the selected rivet nut tool is compatible with the rivet nut size, type and installation requirements.
Rivetnut Tools for Professional Applications
Rivetnut tools can be used across a range of manufacturing, fabrication, repair and assembly applications.
Manufacturing
Rivetnut tools can be considered for production and assembly applications where threaded fastening points need to be installed into suitable materials.
Metal Fabrication
Fabricators can use suitable rivet nut tools when installing threaded inserts into compatible sheet metal and fabricated components.
Automotive and Transport
Rivet nut installation tools can be considered for suitable vehicle, transport and component assembly applications where rear access is limited.
Industrial Equipment
Rivetnut tools can provide a practical installation solution for compatible equipment and machinery assemblies.
Maintenance and Repair
Manual rivet nut tools can be considered for maintenance and repair work where a portable hand-operated installation method is suitable.
Rivet Nut Installation
A rivet nut tool is used to install a compatible rivet nut into a prepared hole.
The general process involves:
✔ Prepare the correct hole size in the material.
✔ Select a compatible rivet nut.
✔ Fit the appropriate mandrel or nosepiece to the installation tool.
✔ Position the rivet nut in the prepared hole.
✔ Operate the tool according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
✔ Check that the rivet nut has formed correctly and provides the required threaded connection.
Always follow the manufacturer’s installation instructions and verify the correct installation procedure for the selected rivet nut and installation tool.
Rivetnut Tools vs Rivet Installation Tools
Rivetnut tools and rivet installation tools are designed for different fastening requirements.
Rivetnut tools are used to install rivet nuts, which create a threaded fastening point in suitable materials.
Blind rivet tools are used to install blind rivets to create a permanent mechanical fastening connection.
The correct tool should therefore be selected based on the type of fastener being installed.
