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.

Established production capacity and active partner qualification supports rapid quotation and reliable delivery for volume programmes.Family coverage · 5 typesSelecting across blind rivet nut body styles
Open EndStandard · most commonThrough-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 EndSealed · moisture / debris protectionSealed 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 BodyAnti-rotation · hex holeExternal 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 BodyAnti-rotation · square holeSquare-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 holeExternal 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.RangeSpecifications
