FAQs

What materials are these rivets best suited for?

These rivets are ideal for lightweight materials such as thin sheet metal, plastics, fiberglass, and softer metals where a secure, non-damaging fastening is required.

What is the function of the 'peel' type rivet?

Peel rivets are designed to deform by splitting into multiple legs on the blind side. This 'peeling' action creates a larger bearing surface, making them suitable for brittle or soft materials, reducing the risk of cracking or pull-through.

What size rivet gun do I need for these rivets?

You will need a standard rivet gun that accommodates 3.2mm (1/8 inch) diameter rivets and mandrels.

How many rivets are in a box?

This product is supplied in a box containing 1000 rivets.

Are these rivets suitable for heavy-duty applications?

No, these rivets are designed for lightweight and medium-duty applications. For heavier loads, larger diameter rivets or different fastening methods may be necessary.

How do I prevent rust on these rivets?

The rivets are constructed with corrosion-resistant materials. Store them in a dry environment and ensure they are installed correctly to maintain their protective qualities.

Can I use these rivets on wood?

While they can be used on wood, they are primarily designed for metal and plastic. For wood applications, ensure the wood is not prone to splitting and consider using a backing washer for better grip if the wood is soft.

Troubleshooting

Rivet gun not pulling mandrel

Ensure the rivet gun jaws are clean and gripping the mandrel properly. Check if the rivet gun is set for the correct mandrel size (3.2mm).

Mandrel not shearing off

The rivet gun may require more force, or the jaws might be worn. Check the rivet gun's specifications or consider servicing/replacing the tool.

Rivet pulls through soft material

Ensure the material is not too thin for the rivet size. Consider using a rivet with a larger flange or backing washer if available. Verify the drilled hole is not too large.

Inconsistent joint strength

Ensure consistent drilling of holes and proper placement of the rivet. Check that the rivet gun is applying consistent force.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable construction suitable for various materials.
  • Corrosion-resistant for longevity in different environments.
  • Easy to install with standard riveting tools.
  • Provides a clean, low-profile finish.
  • Cost-effective for large projects due to bulk packaging.

Cons

  • Best suited for lightweight and medium-duty applications only.
  • Peel rivets may not be ideal for very hard or brittle materials.
  • Bulk packaging (1000 count) may be excessive for small, one-off tasks.
  • Specific size (3.2 x 8mm) may not fit all project requirements.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Select a suitable rivet gun designed for 3.2mm rivets.
  2. Insert the rivet mandrel into the rivet gun jaws.
  3. Drill a hole of the appropriate size (typically slightly larger than the rivet body diameter) through the materials to be joined.
  4. Insert the rivet body into the pre-drilled hole, ensuring the rivet head sits flush against the surface.
  5. Position the rivet gun nose piece over the rivet mandrel.
  6. Squeeze the trigger of the rivet gun repeatedly. The gun will pull the mandrel, deforming the back of the rivet and creating a secure joint. Once deformed, the gun will shear off the excess mandrel.

Compatibility:

  • Materials: Ideal for joining plastics, fiberglass, soft metals, and thin sheet metal. Use with appropriate material thickness for the 8mm rivet length.
  • Tools: Requires a standard rivet gun compatible with 3.2mm (1/8 inch) mandrels.

Care:

  • Store rivets in a dry place to prevent premature corrosion.
  • Keep the rivet gun clean and lubricated for optimal performance.
