Product Information

Full details

The JRP Riveting Products 4.8 x 17mm Large Flange Head Multigrip Rivets are designed for tradespeople and DIY enthusiasts who require a reliable, heavy-duty fastening solution for varied material thicknesses. Their primary benefit is the versatile multigrip capability combined with a large flange head that distributes pressure to ensure a secure, long-lasting hold. While these rivets offer excellent structural integrity, users should note that they require a compatible riveting tool and correct hole size to ensure a perfect installation.

FAQs

What does 'multigrip' mean for these rivets?

Multigrip indicates that the rivet is designed to securely fasten materials across a variety of thicknesses rather than just one specific grip range.

Can I use these on plastic materials?

Yes, the large flange head is excellent for plastic as it spreads the load across a larger area, reducing the risk of cracking or deformation.

What is the recommended hole size for these rivets?

You should use a drill bit that matches the 4.8mm diameter of the rivet shank.

Are these rivets suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, they are made for durable applications, but for high-corrosion environments, ensure the surface is prepared and the rivet is installed flush to prevent moisture ingress.

Do I need a special tool to set them?

No, they are compatible with standard hand-held or pneumatic rivet guns.

Troubleshooting

Rivet is loose after installation

Ensure the hole size is correct. If the hole is too large, the rivet mandrel will not pull the head tight against the material.

Tool is difficult to operate

Check that the nose piece of your rivet gun is the correct size for a 4.8mm rivet and that the jaws are free of debris.

Mandrel snaps before rivet is set

Verify that you are using a compatible riveting tool and that you are not attempting to pull the trigger too quickly; allow the tool to complete the full cycle.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Wide grip range suitable for various thicknesses
  • Large flange prevents material pull-through
  • High-strength hold for heavy-duty use
  • Compatible with standard riveting tools
  • Professional-grade durability

Cons

  • Requires proper rivet gun for installation
  • Specific hole diameter must be strictly followed
  • Cannot be removed without drilling out the rivet

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve optimal performance, ensure you are using a drill bit that matches the rivet shank diameter (4.8mm) to create a clean hole. When setting the rivet, place the rivet head flush against your material and operate the riveting tool in a single, smooth stroke.

  • Compatibility: These are standard 4.8mm rivets and work with most hand-operated or air-powered rivet guns available on the market.
  • Care: Keep the rivets in a dry, low-humidity environment to prevent surface oxidation. If the rivets will be exposed to extreme weather, consider adding a thin layer of sealant underneath the flange for additional moisture protection.
