Description
Overview:
The Sealey Threaded Insert (Rivet Nut) M5 Regular, Part No. TIRM5, is a zinc-plated steel fastener used to add a strong, reusable M5 thread in thin or hollow sections where tapping is not possible. Installed from one side with a rivet-nut setting tool, it compresses to clamp the material and leaves a clean internal thread for standard M5 bolts and set screws. The zinc plating provides dependable corrosion resistance for workshop and outdoor use. Supplied as a pack of 50 for consistent results across multiple fixings, it suits repairs and fabrication on vehicles, plant, sheet-metal enclosures, cabinets, and garden or construction machinery. A practical choice for trades and DIY users needing durable threads in steel, aluminium, or suitable plastics where access is limited.
