Troubleshooting

Rivet fails to set properly

Ensure the rivet gun is set correctly for 4.8mm rivets. Check if the drilled hole size is appropriate – too large a hole can prevent proper setting. Verify the rivet is fully seated in the hole before operating the gun.

Rivet gun not snapping mandrel

Check the rivet gun's jaws and ensure they are clean and free of debris. The rivet might be defective, or the rivet gun may require maintenance or adjustment.

Mandrel breaks too early or too late

This can indicate an issue with the rivet gun's pressure setting or internal mechanism. Consult your rivet gun's manual for calibration or troubleshooting.

  • Lightweight aluminium construction.
  • Versatile standard flange design.
  • Pack of 100 offers good value for common tasks.
  • Aesthetically pleasing black color for visible joints.

Cons

  • May not be suitable for extremely heavy-duty structural applications.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

To use these rivets, you will need a standard rivet gun.

  1. Select the appropriate drill bit size for a 4.8mm rivet body.
  2. Drill holes through the materials you wish to join.
  3. Insert the rivet into the hole.
  4. Place the rivet gun's nose piece onto the rivet mandrel.
  5. Squeeze the rivet gun handles repeatedly until the mandrel snaps off, securing the materials.

Compatibility:

These rivets are compatible with standard rivet guns designed for 4.8mm (3/16 inch) mandrels. They are suitable for joining materials such as sheet metal, plastic, rubber, and wood, provided the material thickness is appropriate for the rivet's length.

Care:

While the black anodised finish offers good corrosion resistance, it is advisable to avoid prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or extreme salt environments. For cleaning, a damp cloth is usually sufficient. Store rivets in a dry place to prevent premature degradation of the finish.
