TheITRG and ITRCG rivet nutsare fasteners designed to provide a metric thread in sheet metal and profiles using a single-sided installation system. Their design combines aslotted cylindrical bodywith areduced 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.
ITRG and ITRCG rivet nuts
TheITRGandITRCGmodels share a slotted cylindrical geometry with a reduced head. The main difference is that the ITRCG model is theclosed-endversion.
- ITRG:Slotted cylindrical rivet nut with reduced head.
- ITRCG:Closed-end slotted cylindrical rivet nut with reduced head.
The combination of a slotted body and a reduced head distinguishes this family from conventional cylindrical rivet nut versions.
Features of ITRG / ITRCG nuts
- Cylindrical geometry.
- Slotted body.
- Reduced head.
- ITRCG 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 rivet nut range includes various materials and finishes. For this family, the following are specified:
- Zinc-plated steel (Trivalent Chromium).
- A2 stainless steel.
The catalog’s general technical data sheet identifies the steel asC1008and the stainless steel asAISI 304.

Applications
Rivet nutsITRG and ITRCGare intended 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 and reduced head provide a distinctive configuration within the range of rivet nuts. The ITRCG version also features a closed-end body.
Advantages of slotted rivet nuts with reduced heads
The main feature of this family is the combination ofa slotted body and a reduced head. This geometry allows for a rivet nut with a smaller head size than standard flat-head versions.
The system enables the creation of a metric thread in sheet metal and profiles through installation from a single side. The availability of various metric sizes and thickness ranges allows the specific part to be adapted to the requirements of each application.
Mechanical data
The catalog provides reference values for various mechanical tests on the rivet nuts, includingaxial proof load, ultimate tensile load, tightening torque, and shear strength.
The values from 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.
