Mehr Rivets Peel Back 4.8 X 12mm - PR47

The Van Line PR47 rivets are made from Aluminium.

The diameter is 4.8mm (3/16 inch) and the length is 12mm (approximately 15/32 inch).

Each pack contains 100 rivets.

Yes, the Aluminium construction offers good corrosion resistance, making them suitable for many outdoor applications, though prolonged exposure to harsh corrosive environments may still affect them over time.

These rivets are designed for use with standard blind rivet guns (riveters), which can be manual or pneumatic.

The peel-back design means the rivet body splits into multiple legs when set, creating a wider load-bearing surface on the blind side, which is beneficial for softer or brittle materials.

While they provide a strong join, for very heavy-duty structural applications, steel rivets might be a more appropriate choice due to their higher tensile and shear strength.

Ensure the rivet gun is correctly adjusted and the jaws are clean. Check if the rivet gun has sufficient power for the rivet size.

Verify that the hole diameter is correct for the rivet. Ensure the rivet is fully seated in the hole before pulling. Check for any obstructions.

This is a characteristic of the peel-back design. Ensure the materials being joined can accommodate the spread of the rivet legs. For very brittle materials, pre-drilling may need adjustment or a different rivet type might be considered.

Check the rivet gun's air supply (if pneumatic) or ensure smooth operation of the manual mechanism. Lubricate the tool as per the manufacturer's instructions.
