Description
Overview:
The Sealey Threaded Insert (Rivet Nut) M8 Splined is a metal fastener used to create a strong, load‐bearing threaded hole in thin sheet materials where tapping is not possible. Made from zinc‐plated steel for corrosion resistance and durability, it installs from one side of the workpiece to provide a permanent M8 metric thread. Supplied as a pack of 50, these inserts suit a wide range of metal fabrication, repairs, and assembly tasks on vehicles, machinery, cabinets, and plant. The splined exterior helps prevent rotation under load, ensuring a secure fit in steel, aluminium, or composite panels. Compatible with standard rivet nut setting tools (hand, lever, cordless, or pneumatic). Sealey Part No. TISM8.
Key Features:
- Splined shank for enhanced grip and anti‐rotation in thin or soft materials
- Zinc‐plated steel for good corrosion resistance and long service life
- Blind installation from one side for easy fitting in closed sections and box frames
- Creates a robust M8 internal thread to accept standard M8 bolts and set screws
- Consistent, repeatable installation with manual, lever, or pneumatic rivet nut tools
- Suitable for use in steel, aluminium, and many plastics (subject to material thickness)
- Ideal where welding is impractical and traditional tapping is too weak or impossible
- Pack of 50 for workshop stock and batch production jobs
- Clean, low‐profile solution that avoids heat distortion and paint damage
- Reliable fastening for brackets, guards, panels, and accessories on machinery and vehicles
Typical Applications:
Commonly used on automotive bodywork, plant and agricultural equipment, garden machinery panels, metal enclosures, racking, HVAC ducting, trailers, marine fixtures, and railings. Ideal for mounting brackets, hinges, cable management, and accessories to thin sheet without access to the rear. Useful for repairs, retrofits, and light fabrication where a durable M8 thread is required.
