Fitting Procedure
1 Drill a hole in the machine body/framework where the
rivet nut is to be fitted. De-burr hole edges.
2 Screw the rivet nut onto the mandrel of the installation
tool. The bottom of the mandrel should be in line with
the bottom of the rivet nut 5-A.
Fig 5.
3 Wind the body of the installation tool down the
threaded mandrel until it touches the head of the rivet
nut 6-B.
Fig 6.
4 Insert the rivet nut (assembled to the tool) into the
hole drilled in step 1.
5 Hold handle 7-C and at the same time draw the
mandrel into the installation tool by turning nut 7-D.
The rivet nut will contract in length and form an 'upset'
(smooth bulge) seating itself against the body/
framework 7-E.
Note: The thread of the rivet nut must not be stripped, take
care when 'upsetting' the rivet nut.

6 Remove the installation tool.
