Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install these rivets, you will need a standard hand-held pop rivet gun or a pneumatic riveting tool. First, drill a hole through your workpieces using a 4.1mm drill bit to ensure the rivet passes through smoothly. Insert the rivet into the nose piece of your tool, place it into the hole, and actuate the handle. The rivet will expand on the blind side to pull the materials tightly together. For maintenance, these rivets are largely maintenance-free once installed. If using in highly corrosive environments, applying a small amount of corrosion-inhibiting sealant around the hole before insertion can provide an extra layer of protection.
