Item # RNN010F1SY
10-32 UNF FLANGE KNURLED BODY RIVETNUT, 0.020-0.130" GRIP, STEEL, YELLOW ZINC PLATED
- UM: EA
- Brand: RIVETKING
The RNN010F1SY is a 10-32 steel, yellow zinc plated flange-style knurled body rivet nut from the RivetKing IKF (low profile head) thinwall series. Designed for blind installation in sheet metal and panel applications where threads are needed but back-side access is impractical, this rivet nut installs from one side of the workpiece and provides a permanent threaded socket once set.
Typical applications: Common in light-gauge sheet metal, electronics enclosures, HVAC ductwork, signage, and consumer-product assembly where smaller diameter fasteners are appropriate. The steel, yellow zinc plated material is well-suited to general industrial, automotive, equipment manufacturing, structural, sheet metal fabrication.

Installation: Drill a 0.297" hole in the workpiece. Insert the RNN010F1SY from the accessible side and set with a rivet nut tool — the body collapses against the back side of the panel and the knurled flange grips the front side to prevent rotation under torque. Recommended grip range is 0.020-0.130" (sheet thickness).
For step-by-step instructions: see our How to Install Rivet Nuts guide for the complete process, common mistakes, and verification tips.
Tool selection: Use a hand-operated lazy-tongs spin-spin or spin-pull rivet nut tool for low-volume installs, or a pneumatic rivet nut gun for production. Battery-powered cordless rivet nut tools are well-suited to this thread size. Both spin-spin and spin-pull tool types are compatible with the IKF series.
Drill bit needed: 0.297" (Letter N). We stock the matching Triumph bit — TRI14714 — ships same day with your rivet nuts. Full drill bit chart.

Rivet Nut vs. Other Threaded Inserts
| Type | Best For | Limitations |
|---|---|---|
| Rivet Nut (this part) | Permanent threads in sheet metal, blind installation, one-side access | One-shot install; needs proper drill size and deburr |
| Plus Nut / Jack Nut | Soft or brittle panels (plastic, fiberglass, drywall) | Lower torque ratings than rivet nuts; not for steel panels |
| Well Nut | Vibration damping, waterproofing in thin panels | Rubber body limits load capacity and temperature range |
| PEM (self-clinching) | High-volume sheet metal production at the press | Requires press tooling; not a blind/field install |
