You will need a standard manual or pneumatic riveting tool designed to accommodate 6.4mm (1/4 inch) diameter rivets.
These rivets are primarily designed for metal-to-metal applications but can also be used for joining metal to wood or rigid plastics where a strong fastening is needed.
The grip range is the maximum thickness of material the rivet can securely join. For a 20mm length rivet, the optimal grip range is typically around 12mm to 14mm, but check specifications for precise details.
The steel construction offers moderate resistance to corrosion, but for highly corrosive environments, it is recommended to apply a protective coating after installation.
Store unused rivets in a dry environment. After installation in outdoor or damp conditions, consider painting or applying a sealant over the rivet.
The dome head provides a larger bearing surface, which helps to distribute the load more evenly and prevent pull-through in softer materials. It also offers a neat, standard finish.
Ensure the riveting tool is functioning correctly and the correct nosepiece size is being used for 6.4mm rivets. Check that the material thickness is within the rivet's grip range.
Verify that the riveting tool is applying sufficient force for the rivet size. If the mandrel breaks prematurely, the tool might be set too high; if it doesn't break, the tool might not be strong enough.
Ensure the pre-drilled holes are the correct size (6.4mm) and that the rivet is fully seated before activating the tool. The dome head should sit relatively flat on the surface.
Setup:
To use these rivets, you will need a standard manual or pneumatic riveting tool. Insert the rivet stem into the jaws of the riveting tool. Position the rivet through the pre-drilled holes in the materials you wish to join. Squeeze the handles of the riveting tool (or activate the pneumatic tool) to pull the rivet's mandrel. This action expands the rivet body on the blind side, creating a permanent, secure joint and breaking off the mandrel.
Compatibility:
These rivets are designed for use with materials that can accommodate a 6.4mm diameter hole. They are most effective when joining two or more pieces of metal, but can also be used for wood-to-metal applications or plastics where sufficient strength is required. Ensure the total thickness of the materials to be joined is within the effective grip range of the 20mm rivet length (typically slightly less than 20mm to allow for proper setting).
Care:
While steel offers good durability, prolonged exposure to moisture and corrosive elements can lead to rust. For applications in harsh environments, consider using a sealant or coating over the rivet head and body after installation. Store unused rivets in a dry place to prevent premature corrosion.
