The JRP Riveting Products 4.0 x 17mm Large Flange Head Multigrip Rivets are an essential fastening solution designed for both DIY enthusiasts and professional contractors requiring a secure, durable hold. These rivets feature a versatile multigrip capability that allows them to accommodate varying material thicknesses, coupled with a large flange head for increased surface contact and stability. While they offer exceptional strength for construction and heavy-duty repair tasks, users should ensure they have a compatible standard riveting tool to achieve the proper installation tension.

These are primarily designed for metal-to-metal applications. While they can be used with other materials if drilled correctly, they are optimized for structural metal joints.
The multigrip design is intended to bridge various thicknesses within the rivet's specified range, providing more flexibility than standard single-grip rivets.
No, these are designed for use with any standard manual or pneumatic rivet gun that accepts 4.0mm diameter rivets.
Rivets are considered a permanent fastener. To remove them, you typically need to drill out the center of the rivet with a bit slightly smaller than the rivet diameter.
While the silver finish is durable, if you are working in high-salt or constant moisture conditions, ensure the rivet material matches your base material to prevent galvanic corrosion.
Ensure the materials were clamped tightly together before riveting and that the rivet length was appropriate for the total thickness of the materials.
Check that the riveting tool nosepiece matches the rivet size and ensure you are pulling the handle in one smooth, complete stroke.
Verify the hole diameter is correct. If the hole is too large, the flange may sink into the material; if too small, the rivet may not seat correctly.
To install these rivets, select a drill bit that matches the recommended hole diameter for a 4.0mm rivet. Always ensure both material surfaces are clamped tightly together before inserting the rivet to prevent gaps. Place the rivet into the hole and use a standard hand-held pop riveter to pull the mandrel until it snaps off. These rivets do not require lubrication; however, keeping the area free of metal shavings prior to installation will ensure a flush, clean finish. Store in a dry environment to maintain the integrity of the silver coating.
