FAQs

What materials can these rivets be used with?

These rivets are suitable for joining sheet metal, plastics, composites, and other materials commonly found in automotive and construction applications.

What is the grip range of these rivets?

The 3.2 x 12.5mm rivet is designed for a grip range that accommodates material thicknesses generally between approximately 5.0mm and 10.0mm. Always consult the manufacturer's specifications for precise grip range if critical.

Do I need a special tool to install these rivets?

No, these rivets can be installed using standard hand-held or pneumatic riveting tools designed for 3.2mm (1/8 inch) rivets.

Are these rivets suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, the aluminium and steel construction with a sealed dome head makes them durable and resistant to moisture, suitable for many outdoor applications.

How many rivets are in a box?

The product is typically supplied in a box of 750 rivets.

Can these rivets be painted?

While the aluminium/steel offers corrosion resistance, they can be painted to match the surrounding material if desired. Ensure proper surface preparation before painting.

Troubleshooting

Rivet stem does not break cleanly

Ensure the riveting tool's nosepiece is correctly sized for the rivet stem. Check if the tool requires maintenance or if the rivet is improperly seated.

Rivet feels loose after installation

Verify that the rivet size was appropriate for the material thickness. The combined thickness of the materials should be within the rivet's specified grip range. Ensure the riveting tool was used with sufficient force.

Moisture ingress despite using sealed rivets

Confirm that the rivet was properly set, creating a complete seal. Ensure the materials being joined are also weather-resistant and that the joint design does not inherently allow water passage around the rivet head.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Select the appropriate rivet size (3.2 x 12.5mm) for your material thickness. The rivet's grip range should accommodate the combined thickness of the materials being joined.
  2. Insert the rivet into the aligned holes of the materials to be fastened.
  3. Place the nosepiece of your riveting tool onto the rivet stem.
  4. Squeeze the handles of the riveting tool firmly and consistently until the stem breaks off, securing the materials.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with standard hand-held or pneumatic riveting tools designed for 3.2mm (1/8 inch) rivet stems.
  • Suitable for joining materials such as sheet metal, plastics, and composites where a secure, water-resistant joint is needed.

Care:

  • Store rivets in a dry environment to prevent corrosion, although the aluminium/steel construction offers good resistance.
  • Keep the riveting tool clean and lubricated for optimal performance.
