Value Collection M47150 Rivet Nut 1/4-20 Steel Flat Head

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION M47150 is a standard rivet nut designed for creating strong, reusable threaded inserts in thin-gauge materials. Featuring a 1/4-20 thread size and a flat head profile, this steel rivet nut accepts a grip range of 0.02 to 0.08 inches, making it suited for sheet metal, panel assemblies, and other applications where access is limited to one side of the workpiece. Installation requires a Letter R drill size for proper hole prep. Tradespeople and fabricators working on equipment enclosures, HVAC panels, electrical cabinets, and structural assemblies rely on rivet nuts where a conventional nut-and-bolt approach is not practical.

This rivet nut is appropriate for light- to medium-duty fastening applications in residential and commercial construction, HVAC equipment assembly, electrical panel fabrication, and general mechanical work. The 1/4-20 thread is a widely used unified coarse pitch size compatible with standard 1/4-20 bolts and machine screws. The flat head design sits flush against the parent material surface, which is important in applications where a countersunk or low-profile finish is required. Sold in a package quantity of 50 units.

Installation Notes

Rivet nut installation is typically performed by sheet metal workers, HVAC technicians, electricians, and general fabricators. Before installing, drill the parent material to the specified Letter R hole size to ensure proper mandrel engagement and flange seating. Use a dedicated rivet nut tool or mandrel-style setter matched to the 1/4-20 thread to achieve a consistent, fully-set insert. Do not use an impact driver or oversized setter, as this can distort the insert body or damage the surrounding material.
