TheITTG and ITTCG rivet nutsare fasteners designed to add a metric thread to sheet metal and profiles using a single-sided installation system. Their cylindrical design features aslottedbody and a flat head, offering a specific configuration within the Bearfix rivet nut range.The range is available in various metric sizes and sheet thicknesses, allowing for the selection of the appropriate part based on material and assembly requirements.
ITTG and ITTCG rivet nuts
The ITTG and ITTCG models have a grooved cylindrical body and flat head. The ITTCG version also has a closed-end body.
- ITTG: grooved cylindrical flat-head rivet nut.
- ITTCG: grooved cylindrical flat-head closed-end rivet nut.
The grooved body improves grip and helps prevent rotation during installation and use.
ITTG / ITTCG nut features
- Cylindrical geometry.
- Slotted body.
- Flat head.
- ITTCG version with closed-end body.
- Metric thread.
- Single-sided installation.
- Available for various sheet thicknesses.
- Manufactured in steel and stainless steel, depending on the part number.
Materials and finishes
The catalog’s range of rivet nuts includes various materials and finishes. For this family, the following are specified:

Applications
Rivet nutsITTG and ITTCGare a solution for applications requiring athreaded connection on sheet metal or profilesand access to the rear side of the workpiece is limited or impossible.
Its slotted cylindrical geometry offers a distinctive configuration within the range of rivet nuts, while the ITTCG version features a closed-end body.
Advantages of slotted rivet nuts
The main distinguishing feature of this family is theslot incorporated into the cylindrical body. This geometry allows for a specific configuration for installing the rivet nut into the workpiece.
The flat head provides a bearing surface against the material, while the availability of various metric sizes and grip ranges allows the part to be adapted to the specific requirements of each application.
Mechanical data
The catalog provides reference values for various mechanical tests performed on the rivet nuts, includingaxial proof load, ultimate tensile load, tightening torque, and shear strength..
The values for these tests depend on the thread size, material, and nut configuration. To find the values for a specific application, please consult the technical data sheet and the specific part number.
