Product description
Compiled from the existing technical description of this product on this site
The flat-head hex rivet nut has a full hexagonal body and is installed in thin sheet by blind riveting; after riveting the head is flush with the panel and provides a high-strength internal thread. Once surrounded by the sheet, the hex body forms an anti-rotation structure — the nut does not spin, meeting requirements for high flatness and fastening reliability.

FAQ
Material, standards, surface treatment and installation points for this model; the data comes from the specification table on this page and from the national standards cited in the answers.
Q1What material is used for "Flat-head hex rivet nut"? What strength level does it achieve?
The specification table on this page notes: materials are carbon steel / stainless steel / aluminium. Material certificates and mechanical test reports can be supplied with the goods; batch acceptance follows the notes above.
Q2What applications is "Flat-head hex rivet nut" suitable for?
Typical applications: sheet-metal enclosures and cabinets; automotive body sheet; elevators and rail transit; appliance structural parts. Overview: the flat-head hex rivet nut has a full hexagonal body and is installed in thin sheet by blind riveting; after riveting the head is flush with the panel and provides a high-strength internal thread. Once surrounded by the sheet, the hex body forms an anti-rotation structure — the nut does not spin, meeting requirements for high flatness and fastening reliability.
Q3How is "Flat-head hex rivet nut" installed? What should be noted?
Noted in the specification table on this page: mounting by blind riveting; riveting thickness 0.5mm ~ 6mm (depending on model). Match hole diameter to sheet thickness per the recommended values for each model; a trial installation is recommended before batch production.
Q4What is the head type, drive and structure of "Flat-head hex rivet nut"?
The specification table on this page notes: head type is flat hex head. Structural details are subject to the drawing.
Q5Can "Flat-head hex rivet nut" be used on aluminium sheet and other dissimilar metals?
Selection to requirements is possible, but contact between steel parts and aluminium sheet, or between dissimilar metals in humid environments, tends to cause galvanic corrosion. The usual practice is zinc plating or Dacromet coating to improve corrosion resistance, verified in critical applications by salt-spray testing to GB/T 10125 and under actual service conditions.
