Rivet nut M5 Rapid Tools 5000672, steel, white finish, 20 pcs, grip range 0.5–2.5 mm

Rivet nut M5 from Rapid Tools is a steel blind rivet nut with a white/chrome finish, supplied in a pack of 20. It creates a strong internal M5 thread in thin materials, allowing installation from one side without access to the rear of the workpiece. The product fits a grip range of 0.5–2.5 mm and is intended for applications where a tapped thread is impractical or impossible.

Advantages

This rivet nut can be anchored entirely from one side thanks to its internal threading, removing the need for a traditional bolt at the rear of the joined materials and improving work efficiency. It is suitable for thin materials and can function as a captive nut or rivet, providing a reliable M5 threaded insert in repair, metalwork and sheet fastening tasks.

Suitable for

• Repair and maintenance of appliances, furniture or equipment
• Metalwork and fabrication on thin sheets
• Sheet fastening and light installations where rear access is limited
• Applications requiring an M5 internal thread in materials 0.5–2.5 mm thick

When it may not be suitable

This rivet nut is not intended for use in materials thicker than the specified grip range (above 2.5 mm) or where higher tensile loads require a larger or different type of fastener. It may also be unsuitable where corrosion resistance beyond the chrome/white finish is required or where a permanent solid rivet is preferred over a threaded insert.

Key specifications

• Thread size: M5
• Material: Steel with white/chrome finish
• Pack quantity: 20 pieces
• Grip range (material thickness): 0.5–2.5 mm

How to use

Drill an appropriate hole in the material, insert the rivet nut into the hole, and use a compatible blind rivet nut setting tool to deform the rivet nut body until it clamps securely against the material. After setting, the internal M5 thread is ready to accept an M5 bolt or screw. Follow the tool manufacturer’s instructions for safe and correct operation.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm material thickness falls within the 0.5–2.5 mm grip range
• Ensure compatibility with the blind rivet nut setting tool you will use
• Check that the steel with white/chrome finish meets your corrosion resistance needs

Usage recommendations

Use the rivet nut with a compatible M5 mandrel and a proper setting tool, pre-drill the hole to recommended diameter for M5 blind rivet nuts, and avoid over-tightening bolts to prevent thread damage. Store in a dry place to maintain the finish.
