Blind Rivet Nuts

Blind Rivet Nuts for Single-Sided Sheet-Metal Installation

Blind Rivet Nuts

Internally-threaded rivet fasteners — installed from one side of a panel to create a permanent threaded boss in sheet metal, aluminum, or plastic substrate without back-side access, welding, or pre-tapping.

Core Way Fast production category with active programme volume — open-end, closed-end, hex-body, square-body, and knurled configurations all in established supply across automotive body panels, interior trim, electrical enclosures, HVAC cabinets, and thin-sheet assemblies where welded studs or tapped threads are not feasible.

Why source through Way Fast

We serve Tier 1 and Tier 2 automotive suppliers — primarily to North American OEM programs, including platforms shared with European and Japanese brands — with day-to-day experience handling the documentation and tolerance standards these projects demand.

01 · Multi-source capacity

Working with multiple qualified manufacturing partners — we match each order to the best-fit production line, stabilizing lead times and cost when single-source capacity tightens.

02 · Submission-grade documentation

Full support for PPAP (Levels 1–3), IMDS submission, and RoHS / REACH documentation.

03 · Audited special-process chain

Partners certified to AIAG CQI-9 (heat treat), CQI-11 (plating), and CQI-12 (coating) — covering the full post-processing chain under audited special-process controls.

04 · Multilingual drawing review

Technical drawing review in English, German, Japanese, and Chinese — including ISO 8015 GPS callouts, JIS standards, thread tolerance classes, and coating specifications.

05 · Body style and substrate matching

Body style (open / closed / hex / square / knurled), material grade, grip range (panel thickness tolerance), and head profile matched per substrate and installation method — drawing-reviewed against customer panel thickness, hole size, and installation tooling (hand, pneumatic, or automated rivet-nut tool). Established production capacity and active partner qualification supports rapid quotation and reliable delivery for volume programmes.

Family coverage · 5 types

Selecting across blind rivet nut body styles

Open End

Standard · most common

Through-hole thread, open at the blind side. Standard rivet nut geometry — core production volume at Way Fast, supplied across most automotive and industrial applications where the installed fastener will not be exposed to moisture or debris.

Closed End

Sealed · moisture / debris protection

Sealed blind-side end — prevents moisture, debris, or foreign material from entering the fastener cavity. Used in exterior body panels, wet-environment enclosures, and clean-room assemblies.

Hex Body

Anti-rotation · hex hole

External hex-body profile. Installs into a hex-shaped hole in the panel — mechanical interlock with the hole prevents rotation during installation and service. Used where knurled grip alone is insufficient under high torque.

Square Body

Anti-rotation · square hole

Square-body variant of hex design — installs into a square hole for the same anti-rotation benefit as hex body. Selected where square hole production is preferred (stamping) over hex punching.

Knurled (Roulette)

Anti-rotation · round hole

External knurl on the body shank. Installs into a standard round hole; during installation the knurl grips the hole wall preventing rotation. Most common anti-rotation variant when hex / square holes are not available.

Flat Flange

Bearing distribution · separate washer

Smooth flange bearing face. Used where a separate lock washer, chemical thread-lock, or nylon-insert is preferred over serrated engagement, or where the mating surface must not be marked by serrations.

SEMS

SEMS Machine Screws with Captive Washer Pre-Assembled

SEMS Machine Screws

Screw-and-washer assemblies — machine screws shipped with one or more captive washers pre-assembled under the head. Eliminates separate washer handling and guarantees the washer is always installed, even on high-volume automated lines.

Selected across automotive electronic modules, ECU enclosures, harness brackets, dashboard components, and mixed-material joints where a specific washer type — flat, tooth-lock, or split-lock — is required without risk of loss or substitution on the line.

Family coverage · 4 forms

Selecting across SEMS washer configurations

Plain / Flat

Most common · bearing distribution

Flat washer captive under the head — distributes clamp load and protects soft surfaces from indentation. Most common baseline SEMS configuration across automotive electronic assemblies, harness brackets, and industrial joints. Non-locking; paired with chemical thread-lock, lock nut, or prevailing-torque feature where retention is critical.

External Tooth

Anti-rotation · exposed teeth

Teeth on the outer rim provide maximum grip against the mating surface and the largest torsional resistance. Selected where loosening under vibration is the primary concern and the joint tolerates visible tooth marks.

Internal Tooth

Concealed teeth · clean surface

Teeth face inward — used where tooth marks must be hidden (visible assemblies, painted panels). Requires tight mating-hole diameter to prevent tooth miss-engagement.

Split Lock (Helical Spring)

High-vibration · spring tension

Split-ring geometry provides spring tension against the joint. Selected where the assembly sees continuous low-amplitude vibration. Paired with carbon or hardened spring-steel washers.
