Rivet nut M6 Rapid Tools 5000673 — steel, white finish, pack of 20

Rapid Tools rivet nut M6 is a steel blind rivet nut with a white/chrome finish sold in a pack of 20. It provides an internally threaded anchor that can be installed from one side, making it suitable for blind or one-sided fastening in thin-sheet assemblies. The product is intended for creating M6 internal threads in materials with a low grip range, allowing a nut to be used where tapping a thread is impractical.

Advantages

The rivet nut installs from one side, removing the need for access to the rear of the workpiece and speeding up installation. Made of steel with a corrosion-resistant white/chrome finish, it offers a durable threaded connection for sheet materials. Supplied in a pack of 20 and compatible with common blind-riveting tools, it simplifies repeated fastening tasks.

Suitable for

• Fastening thin metal sheets and panels
• Applications where only one-sided access is available
• Creating M6 threaded attachment points in assemblies
• Repair and retrofit work on enclosures, brackets, and frames

When it may not be suitable

This rivet nut is designed for use in materials with a low grip range (under approximately 3 mm); it may not perform reliably in thicker materials or where higher clamp thickness is required. It also requires a compatible blind-riveting tool and sufficient edge distance in the workpiece; it is not a substitute for full-strength welded or through-bolt connections in high-load structural applications.

Key specifications

• Thread size: M6
• Material: steel
• Finish: white/chrome coating
• Pack quantity: 20 pieces
• Designed grip range: up to approximately 3 mm

How to use

Drill a correctly sized hole in the workpiece, insert the rivet nut into the hole from the accessible side, and set it using a compatible blind-rivet nut tool until the nut deforms and clamps to the sheet material. Once set, the internal M6 thread is available for installing bolts or threaded fasteners from the opposite side. Follow the tool manufacturer's instructions for nosepiece selection and setting torque to ensure correct installation.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the sheet thickness is within the product's grip range (under ~3 mm)
• Ensure you have a compatible blind-rivet nut installation tool
• Verify required M6 thread and material compatibility for your application

Usage recommendations

For reliable results, use a drill bit sized for a snug fit of the rivet nut, maintain adequate edge distance from holes, and choose a rivet-nut setting tool calibrated for M6 nuts. Inspect finished installations for correct deformation and clamp before applying load.
