Au-ve-co Products 13010 Rubber Insulated Rivet Nut 1/4-20

Product Description

The AU-VE-CO PRODUCTS 13010 is a rubber insulated rivet nut designed for applications requiring vibration isolation, electrical insulation, or secure blind-side fastening in thin-panel assemblies. The body is molded from neoprene, which provides flexibility and resilience against oils, weathering, and moderate temperature swings. The internal threaded insert is brass, accepting a 1/4-20 UNC machine screw. With an overall length of 0.829 inches and a body diameter of 0.500 inches, this fastener installs through a 1/2-inch drilled or punched hole. It is used by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal fabricators where a standard metal rivet nut would transmit noise or create a conduction path.

This rivet nut is suited for light-gauge sheet metal panels, enclosure walls, HVAC cabinet assemblies, and electrical control panels where panel thickness falls within the 0.031 to 0.187 inch grip range. The neoprene body compresses against the panel as the brass nut is set, creating a captive, vibration-damping 1/4-20 threaded anchor accessible from one side only. It is a practical solution for sheet metal work where back-side access is limited or impossible.

Key Features

• Neoprene body provides vibration damping and electrical isolation between fastener and panel
• Brass 1/4-20 UNC threaded insert resists corrosion and galling under repeated assembly cycles
• 0.74-inch flange diameter and 0.187-inch flange thickness distribute clamping load across the panel face
• Grip range of 0.031 to 0.187 inches accommodates a variety of light-gauge panel thicknesses
• Installs in a standard 1/2-inch hole - no special hole prep beyond a clean drilled or punched aperture
• Blind-side installation eliminates the need for rear access during assembly

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or aftermarket rivet nut for light-gauge sheet metal panels, HVAC cabinet assemblies, and electrical enclosures requiring a 1/4-20 UNC threaded insert with a 1/2-inch body diameter and neoprene insulation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a standard rivet nut setting tool sized for 1/4-20 inserts. Prepare a clean 1/2-inch hole free of burrs before inserting the fastener. Do not overtighten the setting tool, as excessive force can tear the neoprene body or strip the brass threads. This fastener is sold in minimum order quantities of 10 units.
