- Rivnut
A Rivnut or blind nut is a one-piece internally threaded and counterbored tubular aluminum
rivet that can be pulled up or headed while working entirely from one side, forming a bulge or head on the blind side. This upset is large enough to resist being pulled through metal or plastic even under conditions of eccentric load. It overcomes the difficulty of installing brackets, handles or other attachments to tubular pieces.
