Choose by Material

Hole size, grip range and stroke setting - the guide shows how to get a solid, reusable thread first time, plus the no-tool method for one-off jobs.

The material of a rivet nut decides its corrosion resistance, strength and how much force it takes to set. Use this page to pick the right material, then choose your size and style on the product page.
THE MATERIALS
Zinc Plated — everyday carbon steel, zinc coated; the broadest range, for interior and protected work.
Stainless Steel — G304 and G316 corrosion resistance for outdoor, coastal and wash-down fixing.
Aluminium — light, non-rusting and low setting force; suits aluminium and soft panels.
Black Rubber (Well Nuts) — rubber-bodied well nuts that seal, isolate vibration and grip fragile panels.
Setting tool: set these with a hand, lever or air nutsert tool. See the full Setting Capacity by Tool reference to match the tool to your size and material.
