FAQs
What is the maximum combined thickness these rivets can join?
These multigrip rivets are designed for a grip range of 5mm to 10mm. This is the total thickness of all materials being joined.
What size drill hole do I need for these rivets?
You will need to drill a 4.9mm diameter hole for these 4.8mm diameter rivets.
Are these rivets suitable for outdoor use?
Constructed from aluminium and steel, they offer good durability. For prolonged outdoor exposure, consider potential corrosion over time, although the materials used provide resistance.
Can I use these rivets on wood?
While primarily designed for materials like roof sheets and plastic sheets, they can be used on wood if the combined thickness is within the 5mm to 10mm range and the hole size is appropriate. However, ensure the wood provides sufficient support.
What is the difference between multigrip and standard rivets?
Multigrip rivets have a wider grip range, allowing them to fasten materials of various thicknesses with a single rivet size. Standard rivets are designed for a more specific, narrower grip range.
How strong are these rivets?
They have a shear strength of 1500 N and a tensile strength of 2350 N, providing substantial holding power for many applications.
What does 'Dome Head' mean?
The dome head is a rounded head shape that provides a smooth, low-profile finish on the surface where the rivet is installed.
Troubleshooting
Rivet not setting properly
Ensure the rivet is fully seated in the rivet gun and the material thickness is within the 5mm-10mm grip range. Check that the rivet gun is functioning correctly.
Mandrel snaps too early or too late
Verify the material thickness aligns with the rivet's grip range. Ensure the correct size rivet is being used with the rivet gun.
Hole appears too large or too small
Confirm the correct drill bit size (4.9mm) was used. If the hole is too large, the rivet may not form a tight joint. If too small, the rivet may not insert.
Rivet feels loose after setting
Check that the total material thickness is within the specified 5mm-10mm grip range. Re-riveting may be necessary if the initial setting was compromised.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Drill Hole: Create a 4.9mm diameter hole through the materials you intend to join.
Insert Rivet: Place the rivet through the aligned holes.
Rivet Gun: Use an appropriate rivet gun to set the rivet. Squeeze the trigger until the mandrel snaps off.
Compatibility:
Material Thickness: Designed for a total grip range of 5mm to 10mm.
Tooling: Requires a standard rivet gun compatible with 4.8mm diameter rivets.
Hole Size: Best suited for 4.9mm drilled holes. Deviations may affect grip strength.
Colour Matching: Available in Beige, with other RAL & BS colours potentially available for specific needs.
Care:
Storage: Store in a dry environment to prevent corrosion, especially if exposed to moisture.
Cleaning: Wipe clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Inspection: Periodically inspect fastened joints for signs of stress or loosening, particularly in high-vibration environments.
