Nut Insert - Stainless Steel Rivet Nuts for Light Engineering Applications

Avlock's Hydranut range of stainless steel rivet nuts delivers load-bearing threaded connections in thin sheet materials precisely, consistently, and without compromise. Trusted by manufacturers across automotive, electronics, solar, and sheet metal industries, Hydranut fasteners are engineered for applications where conventional nuts simply won't work.

What is a Hydranut?

Hydranut is Avlock India's proprietary family of blind threaded nut inserts, also referred to as rivet nuts, nutserts, or insert nuts. Designed for installation from a single side, these stainless steel rivet nuts expand on the blind side of a panel to create a firm, vibration-resistant threaded anchor. Available in multiple body profiles and materials, the Hydranut range is built to cover the full spectrum of light engineering fastening needs.

Hydranut Product Range

The Hydranut family covers seven distinct body forms, each designed to solve specific fastening challenges:

Specifications

Material: Stainless Steel, Steel, Aluminium
Thread Range: M3 to M12
Body Profiles: Round, Sealed, Splined, Square, Half Hex, Full Hex, Jack
Head Forms: Large flange, countersunk, thin sheet, flat head
Standard: Available in small and large flange versions

Key Features & Benefits

Single-side installation: Hydranut are set entirely from one side, making them the ideal solution where rear access is restricted or impossible.
Versatile material options: Available in stainless steel, steel, and aluminium to match the corrosion resistance and strength requirements of your application.
Large flange variants: The wide flange versions increase the load-bearing surface on thin or soft materials, preventing pull-through under load.
Sealed options: Closed-end sealed rivet nuts protect threads from contaminants, moisture, and fluids extending service life in demanding environments.
High torque resistance: Splined, half hex, full hex, and square body forms progressively resist rotational forces, matching performance to application requirements.
Sizes from M3 to M12: The range covers the full thread size spectrum needed across light engineering applications.
Multiple head forms: Large flange, countersunk, thin sheet, and flat head configurations ensure compatibility with varied assembly designs.

Applications

Hydranut stainless steel rivet nuts are used wherever durable, removable threaded connections are needed in thin or single-access panels:

  • Automotive body panels and EV enclosures
  • Sheet metal assemblies and HVAC systems
  • Solar panel mounting structures
  • Electronic and electrical enclosures
  • White goods and consumer appliance manufacturing
  • Industrial switchgear and control panels
  • Bus body fabrication and commercial vehicle assembly
