Value Collection M47425 Steel Rivet Nut 8-32 Pack of 50

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION M47425 is a steel rivet nut with an expander head, designed for creating strong threaded fastener points in thin or hollow materials. Threaded at 8-32, it accepts standard machine screws and bolts in that thread class. The grip range runs from 0.01 to 0.08 inches, making it suited for light-gauge sheet metal, panels, and enclosures where a reliable tapped hole is needed without access to the back side of the material. Installation is performed with a standard rivet nut tool or mandrel-style setting tool. This fastener is commonly installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal fabricators during equipment assembly or field repair work.

This rivet nut is applicable in residential and light commercial settings wherever a threaded insert must be installed in a single-sided application. Common use cases include securing control panels, junction box covers, equipment housings, and structural sheet metal components. The expander head design locks into the parent material as the nut is set, distributing clamping load and resisting pull-through. This package contains 50 individual rivet nuts, making it appropriate for both job-site stocking and small-batch production work.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a rivet nut setting tool matched to the 8-32 thread size. Ensure the parent material thickness falls within the 0.01 to 0.08 inch grip range before setting. Confirm the hole diameter in the parent material meets the specification for this rivet nut style before insertion. De-energize any electrical panels or equipment before working in or around live assemblies.
