CRL A-T Series #8-32 Threaded Insert Fasteners

• Blind installation rivet nut insert — installs from one side for light to medium duty fastening
• Creates durable load threads in aluminum, magnesium, steel, cast iron, plastics, fiberglass, and hardboard
• One insert works in any material thickness above .030" (0.76 mm), reducing inventory
• Axial knurl under the flange bites into parent material for superior torque resistance and vibration-proof joints
• Can install Z-clamps to posts and other assemblies

CRL Riv-Nuts Steel Insert Fasteners (SKU: ATS2832) can be used in light- and medium-duty fastening applications where blind installation and reliable threads in thin materials are required. Easier to install into thinner materials than weld nuts, pierce nuts, clinch nuts, thread-tapping, or thread-forming screws. These non-grip-sensitive steel riv-nuts accommodate any grip over .030" (0.76 mm), eliminating multiple grip-range SKUs.

The axial knurl under the flange provides enhanced bite when the sleeve expands, delivering improved torque resistance and vibration-proof performance. Ideal for high-speed production and also for low-volume manual assembly — suitable for portable tool installation and post-paint or post-plating installation.

Features:
• Wear-resistant threads from mechanically installed steel inserts.
• Simple installation — no special skills, learnable in minutes.
• High-speed capable — install rates up to 500 pieces per hour.
• Self-tightening with repeated use.
• Fits standard drilled or punched holes; no deburring required.
• Installable at any assembly stage with portable tools.
• Metric and alternative materials (aluminum, brass, stainless steel) available by special order.
