FAQs

What is the grip range for these rivets?

The AVDEL PR9 rivets have a grip range of approximately 13.5mm to 27mm, meaning they can join materials with a combined thickness within this range.

Can these rivets be used in outdoor applications?

Yes, due to their aluminum construction, these rivets offer good resistance to corrosion, making them suitable for many outdoor applications.

What tool do I need to install these rivets?

You will need a rivet gun (manual, pneumatic, or electric) that is compatible with 4.8mm diameter rivets.

Are these rivets suitable for structural or high-load applications?

These aluminum rivets are best suited for light to medium-duty applications. For high-load or critical structural joints, steel rivets might be more appropriate.

What is the difference between these and steel rivets?

Aluminum rivets are lighter and more corrosion-resistant, while steel rivets offer higher tensile and shear strength, making them suitable for heavier-duty applications.

How many rivets are in a pack?

Each pack of AVDEL PR9 rivets contains 200 pieces.

Troubleshooting

Rivet not setting properly

Check if the rivet gun is set to the correct pressure (if pneumatic) or adjusted for 4.8mm rivets. Ensure the rivet is fully inserted into the gun's jaws and the material thickness is within the rivet's grip range.

Rivet mandrel snaps too early or too late

Verify that the rivet gun is designed for 4.8mm rivets and has the correct nosepiece. Uneven material thickness or debris in the hole can also affect mandrel break-off.

Joint feels loose

Confirm the hole size is correct for the rivet diameter. Ensure the rivet gun applied sufficient force to properly deform the rivet's tail. Check that the material thickness is within the specified grip range for the rivet.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable and corrosion-resistant due to aluminum material.
  • Provides a strong, secure, and vibration-resistant fastening.
  • Suitable for various materials including aluminum, steel, and plastics.
  • Convenient pack size for manageable projects.
  • Reliable performance associated with the AVDEL brand.

Cons

  • Requires a compatible rivet gun for installation.
  • Specific size may not be suitable for all joint thicknesses.
  • Aluminum rivets may have lower shear and tensile strength compared to steel rivets.
  • Not intended for structural applications requiring very high load-bearing capacity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Select Tooling: Ensure you have a suitable rivet gun (manual, pneumatic, or electric) compatible with 4.8mm diameter rivets.
  2. Prepare Materials: Align the materials to be joined and drill a hole through both layers that matches the rivet's body diameter (4.8mm).
  3. Insert Rivet: Place the rivet through the drilled hole. Ensure the rivet head sits flush against the surface.
  4. Set Rivet: Operate the rivet gun according to its instructions. The tool will pull the mandrel, deforming the rivet's tail to create a secure joint and then break off the excess mandrel.

Compatibility:

  • These rivets are designed for use with standard 4.8mm (3/16 inch) rivet guns.
  • Suitable for joining materials such as aluminum, steel, stainless steel, and some plastics. Ensure material thickness is compatible with the rivet's grip range (typically 13.5mm to 27mm for this rivet).

Care:

  • Store rivets in a dry place to prevent corrosion, although aluminum offers good resistance.
  • Keep the packaging sealed when not in use.
  • Ensure rivet gun jaws are clean and free from debris for optimal performance.
