Value Collection 45233 Knurled Rivet Nut Insert 10-24 Unc 100pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 45233 is a cadmium-plated steel knurled rivet nut insert threaded to the 10-24 UNC standard. These blind fasteners are pressed or pulled into a pre-drilled hole to create a load-bearing threaded anchor point in thin-gauge sheet metal, panels, or tubing where back-side access is not available. The knurled body resists rotation after installation. With a 0.36-inch body diameter, 0.37-inch body length, and a grip range of 0.03 to 0.09 inches, these inserts suit thin-material applications common across HVAC casings, electrical enclosures, and light structural assemblies. Each package contains 100 inserts.

These rivet nut inserts are used wherever a permanent, torque-resistant threaded fastener is needed in a single-sided installation. Typical applications include sheet metal HVAC components, electrical panel enclosures, junction boxes, and light-gauge structural brackets. The cadmium plating provides corrosion resistance in moderate-duty environments. HVAC technicians, electricians, and fabrication professionals working with thin-gauge steel commonly specify this insert style when welding or tapping is not practical.

Key Features

• 10-24 UNC thread standard for broad hardware compatibility
• Knurled body resists spin-out after installation in drilled hole
• Cadmium finish provides corrosion protection on steel substrate
• Grip range of 0.03 to 0.09 inches suits thin-gauge sheet metal panels
• 9/32-inch drill size required for proper hole preparation
• Maximum installed length of 0.205 inches minimizes protrusion on blind side
• Sold in a package of 100 for production and service use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style rivet nut insert for use in steel panels and sheet metal assemblies requiring 10-24 UNC blind threaded anchors with a 9/32-inch pre-drilled hole.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 9/32-inch drilled hole in the base material. A mandrel-style rivet nut tool is the standard method for pulling and setting the insert flush with the panel surface. Verify material thickness falls within the 0.03 to 0.09-inch grip range before setting. De-energize any electrical panel or enclosure completely before performing fastener work on live equipment.
