Hexagon Rivet Bushes

Hexagon rivet bushes (often referred to as hex serrated bushes or press nuts) are designed to provide strong, permanent internal threads in thin sheet metal fabrications where tapping a thread directly into the material isn't possible. The hexagonal body profile prevents the insert from spinning under high torsional load, while the undercut serrated spigot deforms and clinches securely into the walls of a pre-punched or drilled hexagonal hole. Once installed flush, they create a robust, high-torque anchor point capable of accepting standard metric bolts without stripping or loosening during repeated assembly and disassembly.

Selecting the correct material finish depends on your application and corrosion requirements. For general enclosure manufacturing and indoor electronic chassis, our Bright Zinc Plated (BZP) Hexagon Bushes offer cost-effective protection against surface rust. For welding directly into steel fabrications prior to powder coating or painting, Self Colour Steel Rivet Bushes ensure a clean metal to metal bond. If your assembly will face outdoor weather, chemical exposure, or marine environments, upgrading to A2 Stainless Steel Hexagon Bushes prevents galvanic corrosion and joint degradation. Be sure to select the correct spigot length matching your exact sheet metal gauge to ensure maximum pull-out strength.
