Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires a manual or pneumatic riveting hammer or a bucking bar setup, as these are solid-shank rivets. Ensure that you have access to both sides of the material being joined, as the shank must be deformed on the back side to create the locking head.
- Compatibility: Best suited for steel, aluminum, and other soft-to-medium hardness metals.
- Installation: Always wear safety glasses when setting rivets. Ensure the length of the rivet (30mm) is sufficient to pass through the material thickness plus enough length to form the 'bucktail' head on the back side.
- Care: While zinc-plated, rivets should be inspected periodically in high-humidity areas. If the coating is scratched during installation, applying a touch of cold-galvanizing spray can help prevent early oxidation.
