Specialinsert Deform-Nut M3 Stainless Round Head Rivet Nut

Description

Deform-Nut rivet nut SPE-9201A/M3/XZI is a stainless steel threaded tubular insert for creating an M3 machine thread where the back side of the panel is not reachable. The round head and knurled shank help the insert seat into thin sheet, tube, box, and fabricated assemblies after installation with the correct rivet-nut tool.

Deform-Nut rivet nut Benefits

• M3 internal thread supports small machine-screw fastening in compact assemblies.
• Stainless steel construction suits shop, marine, transportation, sign, and light industrial environments.
• Round head gives a clean bearing surface on the visible side of the workpiece.
• Knurled shank helps resist rotation after the insert is set in the parent material.
• Blind-side installation works when the rear of the part cannot be reached for a loose nut.

The master product data identifies this Specialinsert item as a 5 mm shaft diameter, 9.5 mm length, M3 thread insert. Use those dimensions as the starting point for fit checks, then confirm hole size, grip range, and installation tooling against the current Specialinsert documentation before approving production use.

Where Deform-Nut rivet nut Fits

• Sheet metal panels that need repeatable service-thread attachment points.
• Composite, tube, and box structures where only one side is open during assembly.
• Transportation, marine, sign, and equipment builds that need corrosion-resistant hardware.
• Light-duty brackets, covers, access panels, and trim where a loose nut is impractical.
• Prototype and repair work where a clean threaded insert is faster than welding or tapping.

Installation and Buying Notes

Confirm the grip thickness, drilled-hole quality, and tool nosepiece before setting the insert. A straight hole and a square tool approach help the shank deform evenly. Over-pulling can damage the parent material, while under-pulling can leave the insert loose under screw torque.

Specialinsert describes the 9201-Z family as threaded tubular rivet nuts with round head and knurled shank. For current manufacturer information, review Specialinsert. For related inserts, anchors, and bonding hardware, browse Chemical Concepts rivet nuts and Deform-Nut fasteners.
