Blind rivet nut GESIPA Al M6x9x18, 250 pcs

The GESIPA Blind rivet nut Al M6x9x18, supplied in a pack of 250 pieces, is an aluminium blind rivet nut designed to form reliable internal M6 threads in thin or soft base materials where access is available from one side only. The component expands behind the workpiece when set, creating a load-bearing threaded insert suitable for sheet metal, enclosures and lightweight structural assemblies. The product name indicates material and nominal screw size as well as mandrel/shaft dimensions for correct selection.

Advantages

Made from aluminium for good corrosion resistance and low weight, these blind rivet nuts provide consistent thread quality and repeatable performance in series assembly. Their blind installation makes them usable where the opposite side is inaccessible, and the expansion profile offers secure anchoring in thin materials without the need for nuts or welded inserts. Supplied in a bulk pack of 250 pieces, they support efficient production runs and maintenance tasks.

How to use

Drill the appropriate hole in the workpiece to the diameter recommended for aluminium blind rivet nuts of this size. Insert the blind rivet nut into the hole and use a compatible blind rivet nut tool or riveter to pull the mandrel and expand the body until it clamps securely against the rear side of the material. After setting, break off the mandrel if required by the tool, and check the formed M6 thread for correct engagement with the mating screw. Follow the tool manufacturer’s instructions for proper stroke and setting force to ensure consistent results.

Recommendations

Use these blind rivet nuts in materials of sufficient thickness and strength to support the applied loads; test a sample joint in the actual substrate before volume installation. Select the correct drill size and a rivet nut tool rated for M6 aluminium inserts to avoid under- or over-compression. Store the pack in a dry environment to maintain part condition.
