The Half Hexagon Body Rivet Nut is a threaded blind insert with a partially hexagonal shank. When seated into a matching pre-drilled hole, the hexagonal profile mechanically prevents the insert from rotating during bolt tightening or under vibration — making it the preferred choice over round-body rivet nuts wherever spin-out is a concern.
Available at Excel Trading Corporation, Bengaluru in Mild Steel (MS) and Stainless Steel (SS-304 / SS-316), with Open End and Closed End options, and Large Flange or Reduced Head configurations — supplied as per Specification.
The open end style has a fully open threaded bore, allowing the bolt or stud to pass completely through the insert with no depth restriction. Screw engagement length can be freely varied. This is the standard choice for general fabrication, automotive assemblies, and structural work.
The closed end style has a sealed base that blocks fluids, gases, dust, and contaminants from passing through the hole. Essential for waterproofing, outdoor installations, food processing equipment, and any application where ingress through the fastening hole must be prevented.
The large flange spreads the clamp load over a wider surface area, reinforcing the hole and significantly improving pull-through resistance. Ideal for thin sheet materials and load-bearing applications where pull-out strength is critical.
The reduced (small) flange sits close to the surface, making it suitable for space-constrained assemblies. It can be installed into pre-painted or pre-coated surfaces without additional countersinking or surface preparation.
A cost-effective option for general-purpose indoor applications. Typically supplied with zinc plating for standard corrosion protection. Commonly used in automotive, light engineering, and sheet metal fabrication.
SS-304 (A2 grade) offers excellent corrosion resistance for outdoor and mildly aggressive environments. SS-316 (A4 grade) provides maximum resistance to acids, chlorides, and coastal or marine conditions — the right choice for harsh, wet, or chemical-exposure environments.
Half hexagon body rivet nuts are used across automotive and transport assemblies, electrical panel and enclosure manufacturing, HVAC ducting and sheet metal work, aerospace and defence components, industrial machinery repair, and marine or outdoor structural assemblies (SS grade). They are especially favoured in repair and servicing situations where access to the back face of the material is not possible.
