Rivet nuts for M5-0.8 threads

This pack supplies eight steel rivet nuts manufactured by Midwest Fastener Corp for M5-0.8 threaded holes. The 17mm length provides consistent grip range in sheet metal, plastic or composite panels. Installers gain a permanent, load-bearing female thread without access to the rear side of the workpiece.

Blind-side installation method

Each nut collapses from the front to form a secure anchor when a setting tool pulls the mandrel, eliminating the need for welding or through-bolting. The zinc-plated steel body resists corrosion in automotive, HVAC and general fabrication environments. The 8 PK quantity covers typical bracket or panel jobs without excess inventory.

Compatibility with M5 hardware

These inserts accept standard M5-0.8 bolts, studs or set screws, letting builders use common metric fasteners throughout the assembly. The knurled body resists spin-out under vibration while the flat head sits flush for clean panel surfaces. Buyers needing unified coarse threads or larger diameters will need a different thread specification.

Questions about this item

What does the M5-0.8 thread size mean when I install these rivet nuts?

The M5-0.8 thread accepts standard M5 bolts with a 0.8 mm pitch, so any matching machine screw will engage fully in the 17 mm steel body.

What does the 17 mm length limit in a blind-hole application?

The 17 mm body sets the maximum grip range; the workpiece must be thinner than this so the tail can collapse and form a secure head on the blind side.

What hole size and tool clearance do these steel rivet nuts need to mount properly?

Drill the recommended M5 clearance hole, then ensure your rivet-nut tool has enough stroke to pull the 17 mm steel shank fully without bottoming out.
