Blind rivet nut GESIPA Al M5 x 7 x 13.5, grip 2.5–5.0 mm, pack of 500

GESIPA aluminium blind rivet nut M5 x 7 x 13.5 provides a reusable M5 thread in thin or blind-sheet applications. Engineered for blind installation, this rivet nut clamps from the accessible side to form a secure, load-bearing insert. The component is made of aluminium, sized to fit an M5 screw, and specified for a grip range of 2.5–5.0 mm. Supplied in a pack of 500, it is suitable for high-volume assembly, repair tasks and production environments where consistent threaded connections are required in thin materials.

Advantages

The aluminium construction gives a favorable strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance for many indoor and sheltered outdoor applications. Blind installation enables fastening where the back side is inaccessible, while the broad grip range (2.5–5.0 mm) covers variations in sheet thickness without changing the insert. The uniform dimensions ensure repeatable performance in automated or manual riveting operations, and the bulk pack supports uninterrupted production or maintenance work.

How to use

Drill or punch a hole matching the rivet nut external diameter in the workpiece, then insert the rivet nut from the accessible face. Use a compatible blind rivet nut installation tool or riveter with the appropriate M5 mandrel and nosepiece. Operate the tool to deform the unthreaded tail and form a bulbed section that clamps the workpiece, then release and remove the mandrel. Verify the formed head is flush and the internal thread is clean before fitting an M5 screw or bolt.

Recommendations

For reliable results, select drill hole tolerances and installation tool settings recommended for M5 aluminium rivet nuts; pre-clean mating surfaces and avoid over-tightening M5 fasteners to prevent stripping. Use in combination with appropriate corrosion protection if installed in aggressive environments.
