Value Collection M47435 Rivet Nut 10-24 Steel 50 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION M47435 is a standard rivet nut designed for creating strong, threaded fastening points in thin-walled or hollow materials. Featuring a 10-24 thread size and an expander head style, this steel rivet nut installs into a drilled hole sized to Letter F drill bit diameter, then expands on the blind side to lock in place. The grip range spans 0.01 to 0.08 inches, making it suitable for thin sheet metal, tubing, and panel assemblies. Mechanical and HVAC technicians, electricians, and fabricators use rivet nuts where a standard tapped hole is not practical or where access to the backside of a workpiece is limited.

These rivet nuts are used in light fabrication, HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosures, and general sheet metal assembly. The expander head design provides secure seating against the work surface and resists rotation after installation. Applications include attaching brackets, components, or cover panels to thin-gauge steel where a reliable internal thread is needed without welding or direct tapping. This package contains 50 pieces, suitable for production runs or service truck stocking.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-24 rivet nut for use in steel sheet metal, tubing, and panel assemblies where material thickness falls within the 0.01 to 0.08 inch grip range.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a Letter F drill bit to prepare the receiving hole to the correct diameter before setting the rivet nut. A dedicated rivet nut setting tool or mandrel tool is required to properly expand and seat the fastener — do not attempt to set with a standard rivet gun not rated for threaded inserts. Ensure the work surface is clean and free of burrs before insertion to allow the expander head to seat flush. Verify thread engagement and pull-out resistance before applying final load to the fastened assembly.
