Looking for high-performance rivet nuts to meet the demands of your project? Â
We’ve got you covered.
As a trusted supplier of rivnut solutions, Zygology offers a comprehensive range of riv nuts for the automotive, aerospace, and construction industries, among others.Â
Whether you're after stainless steel rivet nuts for corrosion-resistant applications or aluminium rivet nuts for lightweight assemblies, our comprehensive selection ensures you’ll find the perfect fastening solution for your needs.
What are Rivet Nuts?
Rivet nuts, also known as rivnuts, are threaded fasteners designed to create strong, load-bearing threads in thin or fragile materials like sheet metal, plastic, or composites. They’re installed by inserting the rivnut into a pre-drilled hole and deforming the body to lock it into place.Â
Rivnuts are ideal for situations where only one side of the material is accessible, offering a secure and efficient fastening solution that doesn’t compromise the integrity of the material.
At Zygology, we supply a wide range of stainless steel rivet nuts and aluminium rivet nuts to suit different environments and operational needs.Â
Whether your priority is corrosion resistance or weight reduction, our selection of rivnuts offers the durability and performance required for even the most demanding applications.

Types of Rivet Nuts
Zygology offers a wide variety of rivet nuts, each designed to suit specific applications and environments. Here’s a breakdown of the most commonly used types:
Standard Rivetnuts
The go-to solution for general-purpose fastening applications, these fasteners are ideal for creating durable threads in thin sheet materials.Â
Standard Rivetnuts are frequently used in general fabrication HVAC systems, where sheet metal components need to be securely fastened but easily disassembled for maintenance. Ideal where holes can only be drilled rather than punchedÂ
Semi-hexagon rivet nuts
Semi-hexagon rivnuts are designed to resist spinning during installation, making them ideal for high-torque applications.Â
These are often used in automotive and machinery sectors to attach high-stress components like engine parts, offering extra torque stability and ensuring the fastener remains secure even in demanding conditions.
Full hexagon rivet nuts
Designed to offer maximum resistance to rotation, full hexagon rivet nuts are perfect for heavy-duty applications, such as industrial equipment and steel structures.Â
Their fully hexagonal shape ensures they remain stable under heavy stress, allowing them to remain secure when high levels of torque are applied.
Split body rivet nuts
These rivet nuts expand upon installation, creating a larger surface area for improved grip, particularly in softer materials like plastic and composites.Â
Split body rivets are often used in automotive interior applications, such as securing dashboards and plastic trim, where a strong but gentle fastening is needed.
Rubber nuts
As flexible fasteners designed to absorb vibration, rubber nuts  are commonly found in electrical and electronic assembly where noise and vibration reduction is important .Â
They provide a secure hold for lighter duty assemblies. As no tools are required they can be used in ‘fastener’ kits for DIY assemblyÂ
Rivet bolts
Rivet bolts  combine the functionality of a rivnut with the convenience and strength of a bolt, providing a highly secure fastening solution.Â
These rivets are ideal for industrial construction projects that require a strong, load-bearing projecting bolt rather than an internal thread..
Jacknuts are expandable fasteners for soft or brittle materials, like wood particle boards, thin plys, glass and carbon fibre sheets .Â
They’re commonly used in the installation of fixtures and fittings in both home and marine environments, ensuring secure fastening without damaging the material.

Applications of Rivet Nuts
Rivet nuts are widely used across a variety of industries due to their versatility and strength.Â
Here are some key applications where rivnuts are often needed:
Automotive Industry
In the automotive industry, rivet nuts are used to secure body panels, trim, and interior components. Aluminium rivet nuts are particularly valued for reducing vehicle weight, while stainless steel rivet nuts are used in areas exposed to moisture or corrosion.
Aerospace Industry
In aerospace, rivet nuts are vital for securing aircraft components such as interior structures and exterior panels. The lightweight nature of aluminium rivet nuts is particularly suited to reducing overall weight in aircraft designs.
Sheet metalFabrication
Rivet nuts are most commonly found in sheet metal assemblies across all industries. Their ease of use and simplicity of assembly makes rivet nuts the go to fasteners for all applications where a captive nut is required.
