# M6 Closed-End Round-Body Blind Rivet Nuts Dimensions

Nuts · Trade series (closed-end blind rivet nuts)

Controlling dimensions to Trade series (closed-end blind rivet nuts), with spanner or drive size and tightening torque.

M6 Closed-End Round-Body Blind Rivet Nuts dimensions to Trade series (closed-end blind rivet nuts): coarse thread pitch 1 mm. Tighten to approximately 10 Nm at property class 8.8 in a dry, as-supplied condition.

- **Coarse thread pitch:** 1 mm
- **Tightening torque (class 8.8):** 10 Nm

Figures are nominal values from the governing standard. Confirm against the tolerance class for your application before machining or ordering.

M6 Closed-End Round-Body Blind Rivet Nuts are manufactured to Trade series (closed-end blind rivet nuts). This page lists the controlling dimensions for the M6 size together with the drive and the installation notes for this type.

Values are taken from the governing standard rather than from a general machine-thread table, because this type is not selected on one.

## M6 Dimensional Row (Trade series (closed-end blind rivet nuts))

| Thread size | Pitch (mm) | Grip range (mm) | Installation hole (mm) | Head diameter (mm) | End | Material options |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| M6 | 1.0 | 0.5~3.0 / 3.0~5.0 | 9.1 | 12.0 | closed | zinc-plated steel / stainless steel / aluminum alloy |

## Spanner & Drive for M6 Closed-End Round-Body Blind Rivet Nuts

Drive geometry for M6 Closed-End Round-Body Blind Rivet Nuts is given by the row above; match the tool to the listed values.

## Tightening Torque for M6

| Class 8.8 (dry, ~µ 0.125) | ≈ 10 Nm |
| --- | --- |
| Class 10.9 (dry, ~µ 0.125) | ≈ 15 Nm |
| Class 12.9 (dry, ~µ 0.125) | ≈ 17 Nm |

Indicative dry-joint values. Lubrication can lower the required torque by 15–25%. Always confirm against the joint design, especially when going up a strength class.

## Proof Load & Strength for M6

Nuts are graded to ISO 898-2 by the proof load the nut itself will hold (classes 04, 05, 5, 6, 8, 10 and 12), not by the 8.8 / 10.9 / 12.9 scale used for bolts. A class-8 nut is the correct mate for a class-8.8 bolt, and the joint is designed on the bolt, so no bolt-tension figure is quoted here.

## Mating Parts for M6

Pair M6 with the matching M6 bolt or screw, plus a M6 flat washer where required to distribute load on softer materials.

## When to Step Up or Down from M6

When the joint preload approaches the proof load of M6 class 8.8, step up to M8 class 8.8 (or move to M6 class 10.9). When the joint is over-specified, M5 often saves weight and cost without losing the safety margin.

## Applications & Industries for M6 Closed-End Round-Body Blind Rivet Nuts

What Closed-End Round-Body Blind Rivet Nuts are specified for, industry by industry. Stocked from M4 to M10.

### Industries that specify Closed-End Round-Body Blind Rivet Nuts

- **Outdoor enclosures:** Cover and bracket attachment points exposed to water and dirt.
- **HVAC fabrication:** Panel hardware installed after the duct or enclosure has been formed.
- **Refrigeration equipment:** Sealed threaded mounting points in formed panels and closed housings.
- **Vehicle bodywork:** Blind threads in rails and box sections where the cavity must stay closed.
- **Automotive & transport:** Vibration-prone joints where the locking type is specified on the drawing.
- **Maintenance & MRO:** Replacements matched to the existing bolt class, thread and finish.

### Typical applications

- forming the blind bulb within the specified grip range
- choosing steel, stainless steel or aluminum for the service environment
- adding a sealed internal thread from the front face of a panel
- keeping water and debris out of a closed section behind the insert
- joints re-torqued at a service interval
- completing a bolted joint on a stud, rod or bolt

### Service conditions to specify against

- **Marine and coastal:** Available in A4 (316) stainless for chloride exposure — coastal structures, pool halls, water treatment and deck hardware, where A2 will eventually pit.
- **High load:** Supplied in ISO 898-1 property classes, so the joint can be designed to a stated proof load and tightened to a calculated torque rather than by feel.
- **Match the class:** A nut below the bolt property class strips before the bolt reaches its own limit — pair class 8 nuts with 8.8 bolts, class 10 with 10.9.

### Where to use something else

- Do not drill to the thread minor diameter; the installation hole is set by the body and forming requirements.

Inside the plant

## Manufactured in our own plant

This part is cold-formed, threaded, heat-treated and finished in-house. The stages below are where its class and finish are actually decided.

1. ![Wire rod feeding into a cold heading machine](https://engineeringhardware.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/09-wire-rod-feed-cold-heading-machine.webp) 01 **Cold heading** Wire rod is drawn to size and cold-formed into blanks. Forming rather than cutting keeps the grain flow continuous around the head, which is where a bolt is most likely to fail. Head dimensions and under-head radius checked at set-up and per shift.
2. ![Thread rolling machine producing bolt threads](https://engineeringhardware.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/03-thread-rolling-machine-bolt-production.webp) 02 **Thread rolling** Threads are rolled between hardened dies rather than cut. Rolled threads are stronger in fatigue than cut threads and hold pitch and flank angle far more consistently across a batch. Go / no-go ring gauges to ISO 965 tolerance class 6g.
3. ![Baskets of bolts staged for heat treatment](https://engineeringhardware.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/05-heat-treatment-baskets-black-bolts.webp) 03 **Heat treatment** Quench-and-temper brings carbon and alloy steel to the property class ordered — 8.8, 10.9 or 12.9 — with the furnace charge tracked so a finished lot can be traced back to it. Core hardness and tensile tested per lot to ISO 898-1.
4. ![Zinc plated bolts in a treatment basket](https://engineeringhardware.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/23-zinc-plated-bolts-treatment-basket.webp) 04 **Surface treatment** Zinc, zinc-nickel, hot-dip galvanizing, black oxide, phosphate and Dacromet, selected against the service environment rather than against the price list. Coating thickness and neutral salt spray hours to ISO 9227.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What is the coarse-thread pitch of M6 for Closed-End Round-Body Blind Rivet Nuts?

For M6 the standard coarse pitch is 1 mm — this is the value used for Closed-End Round-Body Blind Rivet Nuts.

### What clearance and tapping drill suit M6?

Use a 6.6 mm clearance hole (ISO 273 medium) for through-fixing, or a 5 mm tapping drill for a coarse M6 thread.

### What is the height of an M6 nut?

The nominal height of a style-1 ISO 4032 M6 nut is in the spec table on this page. Style-2 (thick) is approximately 1.1× this height; thin (ISO 4035 / DIN 439) is approximately 0.5×.
