Blind rivet nut VZK ZN open type M5 x 13.5 grip range 1.5 x 4.00 mm

This page features the article with SKU 3552.050.135. Below you can read how to interpret the dimensions and which points are important before you order.

Dimensions and clamping range of the blind rivet nut M5x13.5

M5 indicates the thread diameter, so you can use an M5 bolt or threaded rod. The 13.5 stands for the length of the nut. The clamping range of 1.5 to 4.00 mm is the thickness of the material in which the nut holds firmly. If your sheet is thinner or thicker, the nut will not deform correctly and will not hold as well. Therefore, always measure the material thickness at the location of the riveted connection first.

Open type and galvanised steel: what does that mean in practice?

With an open type, the nut has a through hole. A bolt or threaded rod can therefore pass all the way through. A closed type seals the back, which is useful when the connection must stay sealed. The abbreviation VZK ZN indicates a galvanised version, which provides basic corrosion protection. For a very humid or aggressive environment, it is better to look at another version, for example in stainless steel.

Drill hole and tools

For installation you need a hole that matches the outer diameter of the nut, and a blind rivet nut tool or a cordless tool with the correct mandrel for M5. Check the drill diameter in the manufacturer's specifications, because a hole that is too large or too small affects the strength of the connection.
