Description
Deform-Nut M3 closed-end rivet nuts create a threaded fastening point where the installer can reach only one side of the workpiece. This Specialinsert round-head insert has a knurled shank, 5 mm shaft diameter, 13 mm length, M3 internal thread, and stainless construction, making it a practical choice for sheet, tube, profile, and boxed-section assemblies that need a reusable metal thread.
Deform-Nut M3 fit and application
The closed end helps separate the threaded cavity from the far side of the assembly, while the knurled body gives the insert a better bite after installation. Deform-Nut products are designed for blind installation in metal and non-metal sheet materials, including tubular and boxed sections. Use the round head when a visible collar is acceptable and the application needs bearing surface at the front of the hole.
Selection should start with the drawing or approved sample. Confirm thread size, shaft diameter, total length, head style, grip range, and material before release. The master product record identifies this item as stainless steel with M3 thread, 5 mm shaft diameter, and 13 mm overall length. Do not substitute a countersunk or low-profile version unless the mating part and hole preparation have been checked.
Deform-Nut M3 ordering checks
Before ordering, verify the installation tool, mandrel size, hole preparation, and access limits. Rivet nut performance depends on the workpiece thickness and how the body deforms behind the panel, so a production trial is worthwhile when the material stack changes. Keep inserts clean before installation and avoid mixing similar metric sizes in the same bin.
