Blind Rivets - Dome - Steel

Using Blind Rivets

The rivet has a stem called a mandrel. The mandrel is inserted into a rivet gun and the protruding body of the rivet is then pushed into the hole and through the materials that are being fastened. The mandrel is then pulled back, forcing the sides of the rivet to expand outwards. When the rivet can expand no further the mandrel snaps off, leaving a neat and tidy finish on both surfaces.

Blind rivets are also available in other head designs including countersunk, large flange, sealed and triform – each in a range of finishes.
