Installing Threaded RIVNUT's

CAUTION

Always apply anti-seize lubricant to bolt and screw threads before

installation to prevent galling.

During the installation of threaded RIVNUT's, the threads inside the

threaded RIVNUT can sometimes be damaged by the installation tool,

and may result in the bolts and screws binding. If this occurs, run a tap of

the RIVNUT thread size through the threaded area. This will clear and

straighten the threads, making for easier and faster assembly. Care

should be taken using this method since the tap has the ability to remove

and/or cross thread existing threads. Be sure to work slowly and

deliberately when clearing the threads.

Install the threaded RIVNUT using the appropriate hand operated header (threaded RIVNUT installation

tool) (1), hex (allen) wrench (2) (included with installation tool), and 3/4 inch (or 1-1/16 inch depending on

header tool used) wrench (9) (adjustable, fixed, or box end ratchet type).
