RIV-FLOAT® RFSK Small Flange, Short Floating Thread Rivet Nut | Sherex® by PEM® Floating Thread Fasteners
RIV-FLOAT® RFSK – Short Body Floating Thread Rivet Nut
The RFSK is a short-body variant within the Sherex® by PEM® RIV-FLOAT® rivet nut family, engineered for applications where installation space is constrained and a standard-diameter rivet nut body cannot be accommodated. The reduced external diameter retains the key benefit of the RIV-FLOAT® system — internal floating thread design for tolerance compensation — while enabling installation in tighter installation envelopes.
Product Specifications
- Body style: short round body with internal floating thread
