Fasteners that form reliable M6 threaded anchors in thin or hard-to-reach panels. Peace of mind for DIYers and mechanics comes from knurled aluminium bodies that resist spinning under torque, Pxyelec Rivet Nut Blind Insert. Are these inserts the right choice for engine bays, tailgates and workshop repairs?
⚡ At a Glance
- • Holding Strength: Knurled aluminium shank bites into base material, resisting rotation under torque
- • Best for: Repairers and fabricators needing M6 threads in thin or inaccessible panels
- • Not ideal for: Applications requiring thicker substrate fastening beyond 3.0 mm grip range
Knurled, flat-thread aluminium rivet nuts with M6-1.0 pitch fit a 9 mm drill hole, head diameter 12.3 mm and total length 15 mm. Designed to clamp materials from 0.5 to 3.0 mm and suit both manual and pneumatic installation tools.
Secure joints under torque – Thanks to knurled aluminium shank
Knurled shank profile bites into the parent material while flat, deep M6-1.0 threads distribute load evenly across the insert. The knurl creates frictional resistance that counters rotational forces during tightening.
Reliable thread retention prevents spinning under torque, making assemblies less likely to fail during use or service.
Fits tight or awkward spaces – With compact head and 15 mm total length
Head diameter of 12.3 mm and head height of 1.3 mm keep the insert low-profile, while the 15 mm overall length works with shallow panels. The 9 mm drill hole requirement keeps access drilling modest.
Allows installation in engine bays, wheel wells and behind trim where space is limited, enabling repairs that would otherwise be difficult.
Fast, repeatable installations – With manual and pneumatic tool compatibility
Designed for use with both hand-operated and pneumatic rivet nut tools, the insert sets by compressing the body into a clinched form that secures the thread. Consistent geometry aids predictable setting force and cycle time.
Speeds up multi-point jobs and keeps installation consistent across batches, useful for workshop jobs and larger repair tasks.
