Classified by size
Rivmate’s full-hex rivet nuts are available in a wide range of common thread sizes. Customers can select the appropriate thread size based on mounting hole dimensions, sheet metal thickness, tightening torque, and on-site conditions.
M3 Full Hex Rivet Nut
The grip range for this size is 0.5–3.0 mm. It is suitable for precision assembly applications with limited space, small connection points, and low load requirements.
M8 Full Hex Rivet Nut
The grip range for this size is 1–5.5 mm. It is suitable for industrial applications such as equipment housings and structural support components that require higher load-bearing capacity and higher torque.
M4 Full Hex Rivet Nut
The grip range for this size is 0.5–4.0mm. It is suitable for lightweight connections and provides a stable internal thread while maintaining a low-profile appearance.
M10 Full Hex Rivet Nut
The grip range for this size is 1–6 mm. It is suitable for large-scale equipment, heavy-duty sheet metal structures, and other applications requiring larger bolt connections and higher-strength assemblies.
M5 Full Hex Rivet Nut
The grip range for this size is 0.5–5.0 mm. It has a wide range of applications and is suitable for most medium-strength industrial sheet metal assembly needs.
M12 Full Hex Rivet Nut
The grip range for this size is 2.0–8.0mm. It is suitable for high-strength fastening applications; the appropriate model should be selected based on the actual board thickness, hole diameter, and installation conditions.
M6 Full Hex Rivet Nut
The grip range for this size is 0.5–5.5 mm. It provides stronger threaded connections and is suitable for applications requiring higher assembly strength.
Classified by Bottom Structure
Rivmate offers Open-End Full Hex Rivet Nuts and Closed-End Full Hex Rivet Nuts. Customers can select the appropriate bottom design based on their dust and splash protection requirements.
Open End Full Hex Rivet Nut
The Open End Hex Rivet Nut features an open bottom design, making it suitable for general industrial sheet metal assembly and standard threaded connections.
Closed End Full Hex Rivet Nut
The Closed End Hex Rivet Nut has a closed bottom design, which effectively helps prevent dust, liquids, oil, or other contaminants from entering through the bottom of the thread.
Classified by head shape
Rivmate offers Flat Head Full Hex Rivet Nuts and Reduced Head Full Hex Rivet Nuts. Customers can select the appropriate head type based on assembly surface requirements, contact area, and aesthetic needs.
Flat Head Hex Rivet Nut
The Flat Head Hex Rivet Nut provides stable support surface after installation, helping to distribute clamping force across surface panel. It is suitable for industrial assembly applications such as electrical cabinets and mechanical enclosures.
Reduced Head Hex Rivet Nut
The Reduced Head Hex Rivet Nut has a smaller head diameter than the standard flat-head design, reducing the visible head area after installation. It is suitable for assembly locations with limited installation space or where a clean, neat appearance is required.

Steps of Rivet Nut Installation
- Insert the rivet nut into the pre-drilled hole, ensuring that the head of the rivet nut is flush with the surface of the workpiece.
- Screw the pull rod of the rivet nut gun into the internal threads of the rivet nut, and hold the tool vertically.
- Activate the rivet nut gun and pull the rod to expand and deform the tail end of the rivet nut, clamping it securely to the workpiece.
- Once riveting is complete, retract the rod in the opposite direction. Check that the rivet nut is secure and confirm that the head is flush with the surface.

- 99.9% Pass Rate
- 13 Inspection Procedures
- Ensures Consistent Mechanical Interlock
Full hex rivet nuts are frequently used in applications involving high torque, vibration, thin-gauge sheet metal connections, and repeated assembly and disassembly. Rivmate focuses on testing key metrics such as hex body size, thread quality, grip range, installation performance, spin-out resistance, and pull-out strength. This helps customers reduce assembly risks and enhance long-term reliability.
Applications of full hex rivet nuts
Full hex rivet nuts are suitable for sheet metal structures with specific requirements for fastening strength, anti-rotation performance, and assembly stability. Their full hexagonal shape allows them to effectively interlock with hexagonal holes after installation. Compared to standard round rivet nuts, they offer superior anti-rotation performance.
Automotive Parts Assembly
During automotive assembly, components are subject to vibration, repeated disassembly and reassembly, and high bolt tightening torques. The full hexagonal body of full hex rivet nuts engages with the hexagonal holes, thereby improving rotational stability.
Industrial Equipment Enclosures
This type of equipment has certain requirements for the stability of threaded connections. Full-hex rivet nuts provide more stable threaded fastening points for equipment panels that require repeated assembly and disassembly. They are suitable for frequent maintenance.
HVAC Equipment
HVAC equipment is subject to fan vibration, equipment vibration, and long-term outdoor or semi-outdoor use. Full hex rivet nuts are more suitable than standard round rivet nuts, providing a more stable threaded connection.
Agricultural Machinery
Agricultural machinery is often exposed to intense vibration, impact, dust, mud, and outdoor environments. Full hex rivet nuts are better suited for these harsh operating conditions. They make maintenance and disassembly more convenient and do not suffer from rotational failure.

How to properly install a full hex rivet nut?
First, you need to drill a hexagonal hole of the appropriate size and confirm that the sheet thickness matches the grip range. When inserting the full hex rivet nut, make sure the head is flush and not crooked.
Finally, use the appropriate rivet nut installation tool to avoid applying too much or too little force. After installation, you must check that it is secure.
What types of materials can full hex rivet nuts be used in?
Full hex rivet nuts are best suited for use with thin metal sheets and sheet metal parts. This includes carbon steel, galvanized steel, stainless steel, and aluminum sheets.
Are full hex rivet nuts suitable for automotive repair applications?
Yes, full hex rivet nuts are suitable for many automotive repair and bodywork assembly applications. Vehicles are often subjected to vibration during use and require frequent maintenance.
The full hexagonal body of full hex rivet nuts engages mechanically with hexagonal holes, significantly improving anti-rotation performance and preventing the rivet nuts from turning during subsequent maintenance.
What are the differences between full hex and half hex rivet nuts?
Full hex rivet nuts feature a full hexagonal body design, offering superior resistance to rotation.
Half hex rivet nuts feature a half-hexagonal design. They are better suited for applications requiring a balance between moderate torque and cost.
How to Quickly Get a Prototype of a Full Hex Rivet Nut
If you have sample drawings with specific dimensions, hole locations, and structural requirements, you can provide them to the manufacturer.
If you do not have drawings, you will need to provide the hexagonal hole dimensions, sheet thickness, grip range, material, head type, and detailed information about the base structure.

What Are Full Hex Rivet Nuts？
Full hex rivet nuts are rivet nuts with a fully hexagonal outer body; they are also known as full hex body rivet nuts or full hex threaded inserts.
Before installing full hex rivet nuts, a hexagonal hole of the appropriate size must be machined into the sheet metal. The full hexagonal body fits snugly against the walls of the hexagonal hole, preventing the rivet nut from rotating inside the hole. Therefore, compared to standard round-body rivet nuts, full hex rivet nuts offer better resistance to rotation.
What are the main advantages of full hex rivet nuts?
1. Enhanced anti-rotation performance
Because the body of a full hex rivet nut features a full hexagonal structure, once installed in a hexagonal hole, it forms a mechanical lock with the hole walls
2. Suitable for High-Torque Assembly
In applications such as automotive components, industrial equipment, and electrical enclosures, rivet nuts often rotate along with the bolts during installation or maintenance. The full hex body of full hex rivet nuts enhances anti-rotation capability within the hole, effectively preventing this issue
3. Better Suited for Vibration and Repeated Maintenance Scenarios
In environments such as equipment operation, vehicle travel, fan operation, or mechanical vibration, connection points are subject to prolonged vibration. Full hex rivet nuts prevent loosening at connection points caused by vibration
