It is a one-piece which is threaded in its interior. Also it has a counterbored tubular rivet. Such tubular rivet can be fully anchored from one side. Two types of rivet nut: One of them is designed in order to form a bulge on the rear side of the panel, the same way that a screw is tightened in its threads. The other type uses also a screw, however it is drawn into the sleeve, instead forming a bulge.
