M6 Rivet Nut, 304 Stainless Steel - RNSA2M6L

This 304 stainless steel rivet nut is a threaded insert that is set into a drilled hole in sheet metal or tube with a rivet nut tool. It leaves an internal thread for a bolt or screw where only one side of the sheet is accessible.

This listing is a single size: M6. Each variant is supplied in packs of 100.

Made from 304 (A2) stainless steel, a standard austenitic grade with good everyday corrosion resistance. It is a sound choice away from the coast; in chloride-exposed settings, step up to 316 (A4). Metric sizes are written M followed by the nominal thread diameter in millimetres, so M10 is a 10 mm thread.

Austenitic stainless steel is generally non-magnetic, although cold-worked parts can show weak magnetism. Stainless threads can gall (seize) when tightened under load or at speed. A smear of anti-seize on the thread and a steady tightening speed reduce the risk.
