Value Collection M47530 Aluminum Rivet Nut 10-24 100 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION M47530 is an aluminum standard rivet nut designed for creating strong, threaded fastening points in thin-walled materials where access is limited to one side. The 10-24 thread size and a grip range of 0.01 to 0.08 inches make this nut well suited for light-gauge sheet metal, panels, and enclosures. The expander head design seats flush against the workpiece surface during installation, distributing load across the material. Sold in a 100-piece package, this rivet nut is commonly used by HVAC fabricators, electricians, and general metalworkers who need reliable threaded inserts without rear access.

This rivet nut is applicable in residential and light commercial work wherever a permanent, threaded anchor is needed in thin sheet stock. Typical use cases include securing equipment covers, attaching control panels, and mounting brackets to HVAC cabinets, electrical enclosures, and similar assemblies. The 10-24 thread accepts standard machine screws and bolts of the same designation. The Letter F drill size is required for proper hole preparation prior to installation.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-24 rivet nut for use in thin-walled materials requiring a one-side-access threaded insert. No specific system or model compatibility is stated by the manufacturer for this part.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a Letter F drill bit to prepare the correct hole diameter before setting the nut. A dedicated rivet nut installation tool or threaded mandrel tool is required to expand and set the insert properly — do not attempt to set with impact drivers or hammers, as this can deform the nut. Ensure the base material thickness falls within the 0.01 to 0.08 inch grip range before selecting this part. Follow applicable codes and shop safety practices when drilling and setting fasteners in electrical or HVAC enclosures.
