Blind Rivet

Stainless steel blind rivet nuts with an M6 internal thread are designed to provide a strong, reliable threaded fixing point in thin materials where access is only available from one side. Often referred to as nutserts or rivnuts, these fasteners are widely used in fabrication, sheet metal work, enclosures, frames, and stainless steel assemblies where conventional nuts cannot be fitted from behind.

Once installed using a suitable rivet nut tool, the blind rivet nut deforms and grips the parent material, creating a permanent threaded insert. This allows standard bolts or screws to be installed and removed repeatedly without damaging the base material, making rivet nuts ideal for serviceable or modular assemblies. They are commonly used in stainless sheet, aluminium panels, steel sections, and composite materials.

Manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel, these rivet nuts offer excellent corrosion resistance and durability in demanding environments. Grade 316 stainless steel contains molybdenum, providing superior resistance to chlorides, salt spray, and harsh weather conditions. This makes them particularly suitable for external installations, coastal and marine environments, food processing areas, and other locations where corrosion protection is critical.

The M6 thread size is a popular and versatile option, offering a good balance between strength and compact size. It is commonly specified for brackets, covers, equipment mounts, handrails, signage, marine fittings, and general fabrication work. When correctly installed, M6 rivet nuts provide a secure fixing point that resists vibration and pull-out under normal service conditions.

The stainless steel construction also ensures compatibility with other stainless fasteners, reducing the risk of galvanic corrosion in mixed-material assemblies. The clean finish provides a professional appearance, especially in visible or exposed applications.

Select the rivet nut thread size to suit the fastener required and ensure the grip range matches the thickness of the material being fixed. For applications requiring a corrosion-resistant, one-sided fixing solution, M6 Grade 316 stainless steel blind rivet nuts offer a dependable and long-lasting solution.
