Waterproof closed hexagonal flat-head rivet nut

Why choose our waterproof closed hexagonal rivet nut

Our waterproof closed hexagonal rivet nut with flat head type 10446-X.W is engineered for demanding industrial applications where durability, corrosion resistance and waterproof sealing are crucial. This insert provides a reliable threaded anchoring point — even in thin sheet metal or profiles — making it excellent for structural assemblies, equipment enclosures, metal frames and outdoor or marine environments.

Attention: EPDM is not recommended for use with gasoline, petroleum products, or hydrocarbon environments.

Description

Advantages for assembly and installation

This rivet nut creates a strong, load-bearing thread in thin metal sheets or profiles where traditional tapping is not possible. The hexagonal body ensures anti-rotation and excellent torque resistance, while the flat head delivers a clean and flush finish. Its sealed, waterproof design makes it ideal for installations exposed to moisture, vibration or corrosive atmospheres.

Technical specifications and materials

Our “Deform-Nut® 10446-X.W” range covers thread sizes from M5 up to M8 (and more on request), in stainless steel 303 suitable for sheet thicknesses from approx. 0.5 mm up to ~5.0 mm (depending on version). These rivet nuts meet the demands of industrial, OEM, marine, construction, transport and fabrication projects with high standards of strength and longevity.

Typical applications: where and when to use

• Installation in thin sheet metal or profiles where conventional tapped threads aren’t feasible.

• Installation in composites were a waterproof solution is required but accepts stainless steel 316.

• Situations where access is limited to one side only — e.g. metal enclosures, panels, channels, tubes, frames, machinery covers.

• Projects requiring waterproof, corrosion-resistant, vibration-proof and durable fixings — such as outdoor structures, industrial machinery, transport equipment, marine applications, infrastructure, OEM assemblies.
