RTOS IMPERIAL Steel Open Rivetnut | Thin Sheet Round | 6-32 UNC to 3/8-16 UNC

RTOS IMPERIAL Steel Open Thin Sheet Round Rivetnut

The RTOS IMPERIAL Open Rivetnut is specifically designed for thin sheet materials, providing strong, reliable threads where access is only available from one side of the application. Featuring a round body and thin sheet head design, these steel Rivetnuts are ideal for creating durable load-bearing threads in lightweight materials without the need for welding or tapping.

Manufactured from steel with a Zinc Plated Cr3 RoHS-compliant finish, RTOS IMPERIAL Rivetnuts offer excellent corrosion resistance and dependable performance across a wide range of industrial, automotive, maintenance, and engineering applications.

A key advantage of the RTOS IMPERIAL range is its imperial thread compatibility, making it ideal for equipment, machinery, and assemblies designed around imperial fasteners. This allows direct use with UNC and UNF bolts without requiring thread conversion or design changes.
