Discover about Closed End Reduced Head Knurled Rivet Nuts
Introducing the Stainless Steel Closed End Reduced Head Knurled Rivet Nuts by RivetGo, crafted for compact applications with waterproof requirements. Featuring a reduced head and closed end, these rivet nuts provide a space-saving solution with enhanced protection against water and dust. Crafted from stainless steel, they offer excellent corrosion resistance for long-lasting performance. Check out other closed end knurled rivet nuts: Closed End Flat Head Knurled Rivet Nuts and Closed End Countersunk Knurled Rivet Nuts.
Key Features
The Closed End Reduced Head Knurled Rivet Nuts offer a waterproof rivet nuts design with a closed end to block water and dust, unlike open-end rivet nuts. The reduced head minimizes protrusion for space-constrained applications, while the knurled body provides superior grip and anti-rotation in soft materials, distinguishing them from hexagon rivet nuts.
Applications
Ideal for small electronic devices, precision machinery, and marine rivet nuts applications where space and waterproofing are critical, these rivet nuts are available in M3 to M12. Pair with our Rivet Nut Tools for easy installation.
Shipping Information

Understanding the Size Chart:
- Thread Size (d): The metric thread size (e.g., M3, M4) compatible with matching bolts or screws.
- Grip Range (e): The range of material thickness the rivet nut can securely fasten (e.g., 0.5-2 mm).
- Hole Size (H): The recommended diameter of the hole to be drilled in the material for installation.
- Head Height (E): The height of the rivet nut head after installation, affecting the protrusion above the surface.
- Head Diameter (B): The diameter of the rivet nut head, determining the contact area with the material.
- Overall Length (L): The total length of the rivet nut before installation.
- Installed Length (L₂): The length of the rivet nut after installation, indicating the space it occupies.

Finish: The surface treatment of the rivet nut, affecting appearance and durability. Options include Natural, Zinc-Plated, Passivated, and Painted. Note: At RivetGo, we only sell rivet nuts with a Natural finish.
Metric or Imperial?: The thread size measurement standard, determining bolt compatibility. Options are Metric (e.g., M3, M4) and Imperial (e.g., 1/4-20). Note: At RivetGo, we only sell Metric rivet nuts.

Installation Guide
- Drill a hole in the material matching the specified Hole Size (H) in the Size Chart.
- Insert the Closed End Reduced Head Knurled Rivet Nut into the hole, ensuring the knurled body aligns with the material.
- Use a compatible rivet nut tool to compress and secure the rivet nut, allowing the knurled body to grip the material.
- Thread a matching bolt or screw into the rivet nut, ensuring the bolt length does not exceed the rivet nut’s internal depth.
Note: Ensure the material thickness falls within the specified Grip Range (e) for a secure fit.
Technical Notes
- Ensure the material thickness is within the Grip Range to avoid installation failure.
- The reduced head design minimizes protrusion, making it ideal for space-constrained applications; no countersinking required.
- The knurled body provides anti-rotation in softer materials like aluminum or plastic; for harder materials, ensure proper hole preparation.
- Closed End design prevents water and dust ingress, making this product ideal for outdoor or marine applications.
- Ensure the bolt length does not exceed the rivet nut’s internal depth to avoid damaging the closed end.
- Recommended for use with stainless steel bolts to prevent galvanic corrosion, especially in humid environments.
