Punch or drill specified hole size.
Ensure that you are using the
correct gauge fastener for the
panel thickness used.
Place part in anvil and locate panel
hole over spigot.
Using a profiled punch, ensuring
panel is held perpendicular to the
punch and anvil face, apply a
parallel squeezing force to form
the correct spigot profile.
Alternatively, a domed anvil or a
ball bearing and hammer can be
used to form the spigot profile,
however this will not give
optimum performance.
For optimum performance, installing with a profiled punch is
highly recommended. A flat punch can also be used but will result
in reduced push-out performance.

All performance figures are averages obtained over a range of installations for steel parts in mild steel panels and should be used for guidance
only. Fastener material, panel material, hole preparation, installation tooling and method can affect part performance. We always recommend
that you carry out your own tests in the actual application. Please call our sales team and we will be happy to provide you with samples as well
as offering technical assistance.

Round Rivet Bush Standoffs provide strong reusable captivated threads in a spacer format for thin panels.
They can be installed into panels as thin as 0.5mm and do not suffer from the maximum hardness or centreline to
edge limitations of self-clinching nuts so are suitable for installation into panels of any hardness such as hard
stainless steels or in close to edge applications.
Featuring a radially serrated shoulder, this style of rivet bush offers excellent torque to turn resistance while
maximising spigot strength to resist pull-out.
Manufactured to suit a specific panel thickness in a specified length, we can also manufacture parts with custom
dimensions to suit your particular application.
Round Rivet Bush Standoffs are manufactured with metric threads in steel, electro zinc plated steel, A2 and 316
stainless steel, aluminium and brass. We can also supply Unified, BA, BSW and BSP thread sizes as required.
Round Rivet Bush Standoffs are made to order and are subject to minimum order quantities although we do carry
stock of some commonly used thread/panel thickness/length combinations.
Ideally Rivet Bush Standoffs should be installed using a press with a suitability profiled punch by applying a parallel
squeezing force, however they can be installed using a hammer and ball bearing to form the spigot profile.
