Value Collection 45234 Knurled Rivet Nut Insert 10-32 Unf

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 45234 is a cadmium-plated steel knurled rivet nut insert designed for creating strong, load-bearing threaded connections in thin sheet materials. The knurled body resists rotation during installation, locking the insert firmly into the parent material as the fastener is set. This insert accepts a 10-32 UNF thread and is suited for applications where a clean, flush-mounted threaded anchor is required on one side of a panel. Sold in a pack of 100, these inserts are a standard stock item for maintenance technicians, sheet metal fabricators, and mechanical assembly professionals working with ferrous and non-ferrous sheet stock.

These rivet nut inserts are used in light-gauge sheet metal, electrical enclosures, HVAC panels, and equipment cabinets where through-hole fastening is not practical. The 9/32-inch drill size requirement makes hole preparation straightforward with standard drill bits. The grip range of 0.03 inches to 0.09 inches accommodates common light-gauge material thicknesses encountered in residential and commercial equipment assembly and service work. The cadmium plating provides corrosion resistance in moderately humid or exposed environments.

Key Features

• 10-32 UNF thread standard for broad fastener compatibility
• Knurled body resists spin-out during and after installation
• Cadmium-plated steel construction for corrosion resistance
• Grip range of 0.03 inches to 0.09 inches suits light-gauge sheet materials
• Requires 9/32-inch drill hole for clean, consistent installation
• Pack of 100 for production or service stock

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-32 UNF knurled rivet nut insert for use in steel sheet, aluminum panel, and similar thin-wall applications where a blind-side threaded insert is required.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed using a rivet nut setting tool sized for the 10-32 thread; do not attempt installation with an impact driver or by hand-pulling with a standard bolt, as this can distort the insert or damage the parent material. Drill the parent material to 9/32 inch and deburr the hole before inserting. Ensure material thickness falls within the 0.03-inch to 0.09-inch grip range before setting. Cadmium-plated fasteners should be handled in accordance with applicable workplace safety guidelines due to the hazardous nature of cadmium compounds.
