Value Collection M47120 Steel Rivet Nut 8-32 Flat Head

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION M47120 is a steel standard rivet nut with a flat head profile, designed for creating strong, load-bearing threaded connections in thin or hollow workpiece materials. The 8-32 thread size accommodates a grip range of 0.01 to 0.08 inches, making it well-suited for sheet metal, tubing, and panel applications where access is limited to one side of the material. Constructed from steel for durability under mechanical load, this rivet nut is installed using a rivet nut setting tool and provides a reliable female thread without requiring welding or secondary hardware. Supplied in a pack of 100.

This rivet nut is commonly used in HVAC cabinet fabrication, electrical enclosure assembly, plumbing equipment panels, and general sheet metal work where a permanent, threaded insert is needed in a blind-hole application. The flat head design sits flush against the workpiece surface, keeping the installed profile low and reducing interference with mating components or covers. Installers working in light manufacturing, equipment assembly, and field service applications will find this fastener appropriate for a wide range of single-sided fastening tasks.

Key Features

• 8-32 internal thread for standard machine screw compatibility
• Flat head design provides a low, flush-mount profile after installation
• Grip range of 0.01 to 0.08 inches suits thin sheet metal and panel stock
• Steel construction delivers mechanical strength and resistance to pull-out forces
• Pack of 100 supports production or service-volume work

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 8-32 rivet nut for use in thin-material, blind-fastening applications typical in sheet metal panels, enclosures, and fabricated equipment frames.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a rivet nut setting tool sized for 8-32 threaded inserts. Ensure the hole diameter in the workpiece matches the body diameter of the rivet nut before setting. Power down and de-energize any equipment before installing fasteners in electrical or HVAC panels. Do not exceed the specified grip range, as improper grip thickness will prevent the rivet nut from seating and mandrel correctly.
