Value Collection M47540 Rivet Nut 10-32 Aluminum 100 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION M47540 is an aluminum rivet nut designed to install a threaded insert into thin sheet materials where only one-sided access is available. This standard rivet nut features a 10-32 thread size and an expander head style, which spreads the material on the blind side to create a secure, vibration-resistant threaded connection. The grip range spans 0.01 to 0.08 inches, making it suited for light-gauge sheet metal, panels, and enclosures. Sold in a 100-piece pack, these fasteners are commonly used by HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers who need reliable threaded anchoring points in thin-wall assemblies.

This rivet nut is applied wherever a permanent threaded insert is needed in a substrate that cannot be accessed from the back. Typical applications include HVAC cabinet panels, electrical enclosures, control panel assemblies, and light structural brackets. The 10-32 thread is a standard machine screw size widely used in equipment mounting and control board attachment. The aluminum construction keeps weight low and provides adequate corrosion resistance for indoor and light outdoor installations.

Key Features

• 10-32 thread size for compatibility with standard machine screws and bolts
• Grip range of 0.01 to 0.08 inches suits light-gauge sheet metal and thin panels
• Expander head style provides a positive stop against the workpiece surface
• Aluminum construction offers lightweight corrosion resistance
• 100-piece pack reduces per-unit cost for volume installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded insert for light-gauge sheet metal panels and enclosures requiring a 10-32 machine thread in single-sided access applications.

Installation Notes

Install using a rivet nut tool sized for 10-32 inserts; power tools require adjustable torque settings to avoid over-pulling the expander head. Drill the panel to the specified Letter F drill size before insertion. De-energize all electrical panels and relieve system pressure before working on any enclosure or assembly. Follow applicable NEC or local mechanical codes for fastener requirements in electrical and HVAC enclosures.
