Product Advantages

Types of Rivet

Blind rivet have a two-piece construction; one is called the rivet body, shell, or hat and another is called the stem or mandrel. Both the hat and mandrel are pre-assembled and ready to use.

Open End. Open end rivets are the most popular rivet variety available. They rely on the balled end of the mandrel going into the hat forcing it to expand.

Closed Ends. Closed end rivets are used for applications where the installed rivet will be exposed to liquids or vapors. The sealed end prevents liquids from going through the rivet into the installation or speeding up the corrosion process.

Multi-Grip. Multi grip rivets have a significantly wider grip range than standard POP rivets. They are commonly used to substitute conventional rivets where the material thickness varies.

Tri-Fold (Exploding). Tri fold or exploding rivets have a wider grip range due to the way of the hat bulges. They also resist pull-though by having three folds distribute the pressure over a wider surface area.

Interlock (Structural). The mandrel locking mechanism on these rivets create a stronger assembly than other types. This type is recommended for structural applications.

Painted Head. Painted rivet hats to match your applications to leave a blended less noticeable rivet in its place.

Quality Inspection

1. Drill a hole into the materials.

2. Choose a place the rivet into the two materials.

3. Place the rivet installation tool on the mandrel of the rivet.

4. Activate the tool (usually by some lever or trigger mechanism) to pull the mandrel towards the surface.

When the mandrel gets tight in the material it will snap off at a predetermined point leaving the hat with a portion of the mandrel stuck inside. A properly sized and installed blind rivet will hold tightly and strong as a permanent joint in the materials. If the hole was too big the rivet will be loose and spin and if the drilled hole is too small the rivet will not install correctly leaving a bad seal.
