Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results, use a high-quality hand riveter or a pneumatic rivet gun capable of handling 4.8mm (3/16 inch) rivets. Always drill your pilot hole with a 4.9mm to 5.0mm drill bit to ensure the rivet fits snugly without being loose.
Compatibility: These rivets are designed for metal-to-metal applications. Verify that your material is not too thick; if the rivet is too short, the head will not seat properly, and if it is too long, the mandrel may fail to compress the body effectively.
Care: While the rivets are low-maintenance, they should be stored in a dry environment to prevent surface oxidation before installation. Once installed, the connection requires no regular maintenance.
