RIV-FLOAT® Short - RFSL Large Flange, Short Floating Thread Rivet Nut | Sherex® by PEM® Floating Thread Fasteners
RIV-FLOAT® Short - RFSL – Short Body Floating Thread Rivet Nut
The RFSL is a short-body variant within the Sherex® by PEM® RIV-FLOAT® floating 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® Short 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
- Reduced external diameter for constrained installation envelopes
- Thread sizes: M4, M5 (metric) | #8-32, #10-24, #10-32 (unified)

Key Benefits
- Retains RIV-FLOAT® floating thread for tolerance compensation
- Reduces assembly rework in space-critical applications
- Compatible with Sherex by PEM hydro-pneumatic spin-pull tooling
Typical Applications
- Compact automotive and EV assemblies with tight packaging constraints
- Assemblies that have issues with tolerance stack-up
