What do you need to be successful at installing rivet nuts? Depends who you ask.<\/p>\n

For some, it\u2019s just parts and a rivet nut tool. But it really should be more than that.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take a look at what every rivet nut installer should have at his or her rivet nut workstation:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Hand Tool Calibration Unit
\n<\/strong>Unless you\u2019re installing parts with a process monitoring tool, you need a Hand Tool Calibration Unit<\/a>. The Hand Tool Calibration Unit shows the pulling force of the rivet nut installation tool, so users know the exact installation force being used to install the part. A dip in pulling force may set the part improperly, leading to rework and time spent fixing parts the user already installed.<\/p>\n

Calipers
\n<\/strong>Every fastener installer needs calipers at their workstation. Calipers are used to measure the dimension and length of an object. This could be the measurement of the hole, or the installed length of the rivet nut. They help ensure the part was installed correctly too.<\/p>\n

Rivet Nut Catalog
\n<\/strong>The rivet nut catalog<\/a> has loads of information the user may need during their installations. Everything from grip range, installation length, hole size, part number nomenclature and more. It\u2019s a valuable reference to make sure you\u2019re installing the correct part.<\/p>\n

Hex Tool
\n<\/strong>Hex tool is used to increase or decrease the pressure on your hydro-pneumatic rivet nut tool. By using the Hand Tool Calibration Unit to check the pressure, you\u2019ll know whether to turn the pressure up or down on your rivet nut tool.<\/p>\n

Vice Grips
\n<\/strong>Vice Grips are used to install the headset on the Hand Tool Calibration Unit and change the headset on your tooling.<\/p>\n

Rivet Nut Tooling
\n<\/strong>It goes without saying, you need rivet nut tools to install rivet nuts. There are a variety of fastener installation systems<\/a> you can use, but preferably it would be a hydro-pneumatic tool<\/a> as it offers fast installation with the ability to spin the part onto the mandrel itself.<\/p>\n

Rivet Nuts
\n<\/strong>Can\u2019t install rivet nuts without\u2026 rivet nuts!<\/a><\/p>\n

The last two items are pretty obvious, but the others are really necessary to ensure a perfect installations. The Cal Unit so you know the pulling force, the calipers to make sure measurements are to spec, Rivet Nut Catalog to see specs of the part you\u2019re installing, hex tool to change the pressure of the tool, and vice grips to change the mandrel of the Cal Unit. Oh, and you know, rivet nuts and rivet nut tool.<\/p>\n

All this will make for some successful installations!<\/p>\n
