Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Select the appropriate rivet gun for 6.4mm (1/4 inch) rivets.
- Insert the rivet into the jaws of the rivet gun.
- Place the rivet stem through the pre-drilled holes in the materials to be joined.
- Squeeze the trigger of the rivet gun to pull the rivet stem, deforming the rivet head and creating a secure joint.
- Release the trigger and remove the spent rivet stem.
Compatibility:
These rivets are compatible with standard 6.4mm (1/4 inch) rivet guns. They are designed for joining materials such as steel, aluminum, and plastics, provided the material thickness is within the functional range of the rivet's length (approximately 15mm to 17mm of material thickness for optimal grip).
Care:
While these rivets feature a corrosion-resistant finish, prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or highly corrosive environments may eventually affect their integrity. For maximum longevity, especially in critical structural applications, periodic inspection for signs of wear or damage is recommended. Clean with a dry cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners.
