Secure your projects with GW GeWalt Zinc Yellow Galvanised Rivet Nuts. These high-performance threaded inserts provide a permanent, reliable screw point in thin materials where tapping is impossible.

The Zinc Yellow finish offers enhanced corrosion protection, making them ideal for automotive and outdoor use. Featuring a knurled (ribbed) body, these rivet nuts bite into the material to prevent spinning, ensuring a rock-solid, anti-slip installation every time.

Key Highlights:

Enhanced Durability: Yellow chromate coating for superior rust resistance.

Anti-Spin Grip: Ribbed body prevents rotation in sheet metal or tubing.

Easy Installation: Blind-side fastening—install from just one side of the workpiece.

Professional Grade: Engineered for structural integrity in construction and DIY.

Q: Why should I choose a Zinc Yellow finish over standard white/clear zinc?

A: Zinc Yellow (yellow chromate) offers a thicker passivation layer than standard clear zinc. This provides significantly higher resistance to rust and corrosion, making these rivet nuts better suited for outdoor environments or automotive applications where moisture and road salts are present.

Q: What is the purpose of the ribs (knurling) on the body of the rivet nut?

A: The ribs are a crucial anti-rotation feature. When the rivet nut is compressed during installation, the ribs bite into the surrounding material of the hole. This prevents the nut from spinning inside the hole when you tighten a screw or bolt into it later, ensuring a rock-solid connection.

Q: Do I need a special tool to install GW GeWalt Rivet Nuts?

A: Yes, these require a rivet nut gun (or setting tool). While you can use a manual mandrel-style tool for small batches, a pneumatic or battery-powered rivet nut gun is recommended for higher-volume installations to ensure consistent collapse and structural strength.

Q: Can these be used on thick materials?

A: Rivet nuts are specifically designed for thin-walled materials like sheet metal, thin tubing, or composite panels where you cannot tap a thread directly into the metal. If your material is too thick, a rivet nut will not have enough space to properly deform on the backside to create the anchor.

Q: Are these suitable for DIY furniture assembly?

A: Absolutely. They are excellent for DIY projects involving metal frames or joining thin metal sheets. They create a clean, professional finish that allows you to bolt furniture parts together securely without the need for welding equipment.
