Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
To use these rivets, you will need a standard rivet gun.
- Select the appropriate drill bit size for a 4.8mm rivet body.
- Drill holes through the materials you wish to join.
- Insert the rivet into the hole.
- Place the rivet gun's nose piece onto the rivet mandrel.
- 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.
