Short open hexagonal rivet nut – industrial fastening solution for thin sheet metal and profiles

Product description – short open hexagon rivet nut

The short open hexagonal rivet nut (Deform-Nut® E TFM/C) is a reliable industrial fastening solution designed to create a strong internal thread in thin sheet metal, steel profiles, and aluminium structures without rear access. This open rivet nut with a low countersunk head and hexagonal body is specifically engineered for applications with limited installation depth, such as narrow tubes and closed profiles. Available with metric internal threads M5, M6 and M8, it delivers consistent performance, vibration resistance and long-term durability in professional assembly environments.

Description

Industrial applications and key B2B advantages

This rivet nut is widely used in OEM production, mechanical engineering, frame assembly and electromechanical applications. Key advantages include:

• Blind installation with no access required from the rear side, ideal for closed profiles and tubular structures

• Compact low-profile countersunk head for space-restricted assemblies

• High torque and pull-out resistance thanks to the hexagonal shank preventing rotation

• Compatible with manual, pneumatic and hydraulic installation tools, including automated production lines
