Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting your project, ensure you have a high-quality manual or pneumatic rivet gun that supports 4.8mm fasteners. To install, drill a hole through your materials that matches the diameter of the rivet shaft. If you desire a flush finish, use a countersink bit to widen the top of the hole until the rivet head rests level with the surface. Insert the rivet, activate the rivet gun to pull the mandrel, and wait for the "pop" sound, indicating the rivet has properly expanded and the mandrel has broken away. Store these rivets in a dry, cool environment to maintain the integrity of their materials, and avoid exposing them to excessive moisture before installation.
