Steel Open Thin Sheet Hexagon Rivetnut
The HTOS-SJ Steel Open Thin Sheet Hexagon Rivetnut is designed to provide strong, reliable female threads in thin sheet materials where conventional tapping is not practical. Manufactured from zinc-plated steel and featuring a hexagonal body design, this Rivetnut offers superior resistance to rotation compared to standard round body Rivetnuts when installed into correctly prepared hexagonal holes.
Its thin sheet design makes it ideal for applications involving lightweight materials and limited material thicknesses up to 3.30mm. The open-end construction allows for through-thread applications, making it suitable for a wide range of assembly, maintenance, and manufacturing environments.
Applications
The HTOS-SJ Hexagon Rivetnut is commonly used in:
- Sheet metal fabrication
- Automotive components and bodywork
- Electrical enclosures
- HVAC systems
- Industrial equipment
- Agricultural machinery
- Metal furniture manufacture
- General engineering and maintenance applications
The hexagonal body helps prevent spinning under high torque loads, making it particularly suitable for applications where secure fastening and repeated assembly are required.

Why Choose the HTOS-SJ Hexagon Rivetnut?
Unlike standard round Rivetnuts, the HTOS-SJ features a hexagonal body that locks into a matching hexagonal hole to significantly reduce the possibility of rotation during installation or service. This added resistance makes it an excellent choice for high-load applications, vibration-prone environments, and assemblies requiring regular maintenance.
The thin sheet design enables secure threaded fastening in materials where standard threaded inserts cannot be used, providing a professional and durable fixing solution.
