Applications and benefits

Blind rivets are essential for creating strong and durable connections in situations where access to the rear of the workpiece is limited. They are widely used in sectors such as construction, automotive, and mechanical engineering. Thanks to their design, they offer a quick and efficient way to join materials without the need for threads or nuts.

Installation instructions

For optimal fastening, it is important to follow the correct installation procedures:

• Pre-drilling: Use a drill with a diameter of 3.1 mm to create an accurate hole for the rivet.
• Placement: Insert the blind rivet through the pre-drilled hole and use a suitable rivet tool to pull the mandrel until it breaks off, indicating that the rivet is correctly placed.
• Check: Ensure the connection is firm and there is no play between the joined materials.

Practical tips

• Material choice: The aluminium sleeve offers corrosion resistance, while the steel mandrel provides extra strength. This makes the rivets suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.
• Compatibility: Check whether the clamping range of 3.5 - 5.5 mm is suitable for the thickness of the materials you want to join.
• Tools: Use a quality blind rivet tool for efficient and safe installation.
