The AVDEL PRL2 Avex Rivets are designed for users requiring a reliable and robust fastening solution, particularly in applications involving sheet metal or plastics. Their key benefit lies in their durable aluminum construction and the substantial pack size of 8,000 units, offering excellent value for high-volume projects. A potential consideration is the specific diameter and length, which may not suit all joint thicknesses.

The PRL2 rivets are made of aluminum.
The diameter is 3.2mm (1/8") and the length is 13mm (1/2").
Each pack contains 8,000 rivets.
The flange diameter is 6.3mm.
These rivets are compatible with standard blind rivet tools designed for 3.2mm (1/8") diameter rivets.
They are generally suitable for joining materials with a combined thickness between approximately 3.0mm and 11.0mm.
Aluminum offers good corrosion resistance, making them suitable for many outdoor applications. However, prolonged exposure to harsh environments may affect them.
Ensure the correct size rivet gun nose piece is used for 3.2mm rivets. Check if the rivet is fully seated in the material and the rivet gun. Verify the rivet gun has sufficient air pressure or hydraulic force.
The material thickness might be too great for the rivet length. Ensure the rivet gun's jaws are clean and in good condition. Check for any obstructions in the rivet gun's path.
This can occur if the hole is too large or the material is too soft and the flange is pulling through. Ensure the hole diameter is within specification (typically 3.3-3.4mm for 3.2mm rivets). Consider using a rivet with a larger flange diameter if available and suitable.
Check for broken mandrel pieces lodged in the tool. Clean the rivet gun jaws and mandrel collection system. Ensure you are using the correct type and size of rivet for your tool.
Setup:
To use the AVDEL PRL2 Avex Rivets, you will need a compatible rivet gun designed for 3.2mm rivets. Ensure the rivet gun's mandrel collection system is clear. Insert the rivet into the appropriate drilled or punched hole in the materials to be joined, then place the rivet gun nose piece onto the rivet head. Squeeze the trigger of the rivet gun to pull the mandrel, which deforms the rivet body and creates a secure joint. Release the trigger and remove the rivet gun; the mandrel will break off.
Compatibility:
These rivets are compatible with standard blind rivet tools that accept 3.2mm (1/8") diameter rivets. They are best suited for joining materials with a combined thickness between approximately 3.0mm and 11.0mm, depending on the specific rivet setup and material properties. They are ideal for aluminum, steel, and plastic materials.
Care:
While aluminum offers good corrosion resistance, prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or saltwater environments may degrade the material over time. Store unused rivets in a dry environment to prevent oxidation. Regularly clean your rivet gun according to its manufacturer's instructions to ensure optimal performance.
