FAQs

What is the diameter of these rivets?

These specific rivets have a 3.2mm shank diameter.

Can these be used for plastic materials?

While designed for metal, they can be used for plastics if a backing washer is used to prevent the rivet from pulling through the softer material.

What size drill bit should I use?

A 3.3mm drill bit is generally recommended for a 3.2mm rivet to allow for a snug fit.

Are these rivets weather-resistant?

The rivets are durable, but if used in high-corrosion or marine environments, consider applying a corrosion-resistant coating or using stainless steel variants if available.

Do I need a special tool to install them?

Yes, you will need a standard pop rivet gun to set these fasteners.

Troubleshooting

Rivet mandrel does not break off cleanly

Check that the rivet tool is fully seated against the head and that the internal jaws of the gun are free of debris.

Joint feels loose after installation

Verify that the pre-drilled hole size is correct and that the total thickness of the materials being joined is within the 8mm rivet capacity.

Rivet head is pulling through the material

The hole may be too large; use a smaller drill bit or a backing washer to distribute pressure across the surface.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a strong, permanent mechanical bond
  • Clean aesthetic finish thanks to the dome head design
  • High-quality construction suitable for professional use
  • Reliable performance in metal-to-metal joining

Cons

  • Requires a rivet tool for installation
  • Limited to specific material thicknesses due to length
  • Installation is non-reversible once set

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting your project, ensure the surfaces to be joined are clean and free of debris. Always use a drill bit slightly larger than the rivet diameter (typically 3.3mm for a 3.2mm rivet) to ensure smooth insertion. These rivets are compatible with standard manual or pneumatic rivet guns. To maintain the integrity of the joint, store the rivets in a dry environment to prevent surface oxidation, and avoid exceeding the grip range of the 8mm length to prevent deformation or failure of the joint.
