Description
Overview:
The Sealey Threaded Insert (Rivet Nut) M8 Regular is a metal insert with a zinc-plated finish, supplied in a pack of 50 for workshop and site use. Fitted into a pre-drilled hole and expanded using a rivet nut tool, it creates a strong, reusable M8 internal thread in thin or hollow materials where tapping or using a standard nut is not possible. The zinc plating helps resist corrosion in everyday environments. Suitable for sheet metal, light alloys, and selected plastics, these inserts are widely used across automotive repair, industrial machinery, garden machinery frames, equipment enclosures, cabinets, and general fabrication. The "Regular" body length suits common sheet thicknesses, and the M8 size covers a broad range of fixtures, brackets, clamps, and accessories.
Key Features:
- Zinc-plated finish for improved corrosion resistance and long service life
- Creates reliable M8 threads in thin or hollow sections without welding
- Blind installation from one side-ideal where rear access is limited
- Compatible with standard hand, lever, or pneumatic rivet nut tools
- Regular body length for general-purpose use across many materials
- Suitable for metal sheets and selected plastics and composites
- Pack of 50 for efficient stocking and consistent batch quality
- Helps reduce installation time compared with weld nuts or tapping
- Provides a clean, professional fixing that can be removed and refitted
- Manufactured by Sealey, a trusted brand for workshop hardware
Typical Applications:

Ideal for brackets, hinges, mounts, and accessories where a durable M8 thread is needed without rear access.
