FAQs
Can these rivets be used outdoors?
Yes, the aluminium construction offers good corrosion resistance, making them suitable for most outdoor applications.
Do I need a special tool to install these?
Yes, you will need a standard manual rivet gun or a pneumatic rivet tool.
Are these safe for electrical appliances?
Yes, these rivets are RoHS compliant, meaning they are free from restricted hazardous substances.
Can I remove the rivet after it is installed?
These are considered permanent fasteners. To remove them, you typically need to drill out the rivet head with a standard drill bit.
What is the material composition?
The rivet body is made of aluminium, while the pulling mandrel is made of steel.
Troubleshooting
Rivet is loose after installation
The pilot hole may be too large. Ensure you are using the correct drill bit size for your specific rivet diameter.
Mandrel does not snap off
Check that the riveter nose piece matches the rivet diameter and ensure the tool is being operated with full, firm pressure.
Rivet head pulling through material
The material being fastened may be too thin or soft. Use a backing washer to distribute the pressure over a larger surface area.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Secure, permanent fastening
- Requires access from only one side
- High-quality materials resist corrosion
- Suitable for electrical applications due to RoHS compliance
Cons
- Requires a separate rivet tool for installation
- Not intended for applications requiring frequent disassembly
- Limited to specific material thicknesses based on rivet length
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve a professional finish, ensure that the pilot hole drilled into your workpiece is only slightly larger than the diameter of the rivet stem—typically 0.1mm to 0.2mm clearance is ideal.
- Select a rivet size that matches the total thickness of the materials you are joining.
- Insert the rivet mandrel into your hand riveter nozzle.
- Place the rivet body into the prepared hole.
- Operate the riveter handles until the mandrel snaps off cleanly, indicating a secure set.
No specialized maintenance is required for the rivets themselves; keep them in a dry environment to maintain the integrity of the aluminium alloy.
