A 'Rivet Nut' is a one piece fastener installed 'blind' from
one side of the machine body/framework. The rivet nut 65-
A is compressed so that a section of its shank forms an
'upset' against the machine body/framework, leaving a
durable thread 65-B.
Fig 65.
Rivet nuts are fitted to various parts of the machine body
and framework. They are used in a number of applications,
for instance, hose clamp and hydraulic valve retention etc.
Various sized rivet nuts are available. K
Table 1.
Specifications ( T 1-5-23) to determine the size of rivet
nut to be used for particular applications.
If for any reason a new rivet nut requires fitting, then the
correct installation procedure must be followed. K
Fitting
Procedure ( T 1-5-24).
Note: In an emergency, and if no installation tool is
available, it is possible to fit a rivet nut by using a nut and
bolt the same thread diameter as the rivet nut being
installed. However, this is not the recommended method.
