Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install these rivets, you will need a compatible manual hand riveter or a pneumatic rivet gun capable of handling 3.2mm diameter shanks.
- Drill a hole slightly larger than the 3.2mm rivet diameter in both materials to be joined.
- Insert the rivet into the nosepiece of your rivet tool.
- Push the rivet body fully into the pre-drilled hole.
- Squeeze the tool handle firmly until the mandrel snaps off, indicating a secure set.
For care and longevity, ensure the tool nosepiece is clean and free of debris. Store unused rivets in a dry environment to prevent surface oxidation, keeping the grey finish intact for aesthetics and corrosion resistance.
