Blind rivet nut GESIPA Al M5x7x12.5 small head, grip 0.5–3.0 mm, pack of 500

Blind rivet nut GESIPA Al M5x7x12.5 small head is an aluminum rivet nut designed to provide a durable internal M5 thread in thin or hollow materials. Supplied in a pack of 500, each rivet nut features a small diameter head and a body dimension suited to create reliable fastenings in sheet metal, enclosures and lightweight constructions. The grip range of 0.5–3.0 mm makes these rivet nuts suitable for a variety of panel thicknesses without requiring access to the far side of the workpiece.

Advantages

These aluminum blind rivet nuts deliver a consistent, reusable M5 thread that simplifies assembly and repair tasks. The small head profile minimizes the clearance required around the fastener and produces a neat external appearance. Their corrosion-resistant aluminum construction reduces weight while offering adequate strength for many fastening applications. Supplied in a bulk pack of 500, they allow uninterrupted production runs and reduce the frequency of reordering.

How to use

Drill a hole of the recommended diameter for the rivet nut body in the workpiece, insert the rivet nut with its head flush to the surface, and apply a suitable blind rivet nut tool or setting mandrel to deform the tail of the insert until it forms a secure blind joint. Ensure the selected tool and mandrel match the M5 rivet nut dimensions and follow the tool manufacturer's instructions for correct installation force and stroke. After setting, check that the external head sits flush and that the M5 internal thread accepts the intended fastener without cross-threading.

Recommendations

Use these aluminum blind rivet nuts in applications where lightweight, corrosion-resistant inserts and limited material thickness (0.5–3.0 mm) are required. For higher-strength or vibration-prone assemblies, consider selecting a steel rivet nut or using washers and thread-locking measures as appropriate. Store the pack in a dry environment and use suitable blind rivet nut tools calibrated for M5 inserts to ensure consistent installation quality.
