Blind Rivets

Dome Head

Blind rivets, commonly referred to as "pop" rivets are tubular and are supplied with a nail like mandrel through the center which has a "necked" or weakened area near the head. The rivet assembly is inserted into a hole drilled through the parts to be joined and a specially designed tool is used to draw the mandrel through the rivet. The compression force between the head of the mandrel and the tool expands the diameter of the tube throughout its length, locking the sheets being fastened if the hole was the correct size. The head of the mandrel also expands the blind end of the rivet to a diameter greater than that of the drilled hole, compressing the fastened sheets between the head of the rivet and the head of the mandrel. At a predetermined tension, the mandrel breaks at the necked location. With open tubular rivets, the head of the mandrel may or may not remain embedded in the expanded portion of the rivet, and can come loose at a later time. More expensive closed-end tubular rivets are formed around the mandrel so the head of the mandrel is always retained inside the blind end after installation. "Pop" rivets can be fully installed with access to only one side of a part or structure.

Blind Rivets

Countersunk Head Aluminum & Steel

Countersunk blind rivets, also known as nail rivets & POP rivets, are fasteners designed for use in applications where there is access to only one side of a work surface. Countersunk head blind rivets create a permanent hold and sit flush to the material surface, making them ideal for applications where a smooth surface finish is desired or to prevent the rivet from catching on machinery components.

These rivets are used to grip in various thickness of material, the rivet self adjusts to the thickness allowing for the material to be securely fastened together

Sealed Rivet

The sealed rivets are break mandrel blind rivets that guarantee a solid and high quality fastening. The joints are completely sealed to fluids, avoiding leakage of liquids or vapour's due to the locking of the mandrel inside the rivet body.
