The Sealey SA317 is an extra-heavy-duty air/hydraulic nut riveter designed for demanding assembly ...The Sealey SA317 is an extra-heavy-duty air/hydraulic nut riveter designed for demanding assembly tasks. It is trigger-operated and features an automatic wind release system for fast and efficient application. The unit is supplied with seven mandrels covering sizes M3, M4, M5, M6, M8, M10, and M12, along with two spanners and an oil syringe. With an operating pressure of 100psi and a stroke range of 1-8mm, this tool is suitable for all types of nut rivets. It includes a 3-year guarantee.
The Sealey SA317 is an extra-heavy-duty air/hydraulic nut riveter engineered for professional tradespeople and heavy assembly environments requiring high-volume fastening. It offers the key benefit of rapid, trigger-operated installation with an automatic wind-release system that ensures consistent, reliable results across various material thicknesses. While its heavy-duty performance is ideal for demanding tasks, the unit requires a consistent 100psi compressed air supply, which may limit its portability for field work without a robust compressor setup.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Does this tool work with M12 rivets?
Yes, the SA317 includes a dedicated M12 mandrel for heavy-duty applications.
What is the warranty period?
The Sealey SA317 is backed by a 3-year manufacturer guarantee.
Can I use this with a small portable compressor?
Only if your compressor can sustain a continuous 100psi flow; otherwise, performance on larger rivets may be compromised.
Is the oil syringe for the air motor or hydraulics?
The syringe is for maintaining the hydraulic fluid levels in the pulling mechanism.
Are the mandrels interchangeable?
Yes, you can swap between the seven included sizes (M3-M12) using the provided spanners.
Troubleshooting
Rivet not setting fully
Check that your air pressure is consistently at 100psi and ensure the stroke is not being limited by debris in the nosepiece.
Mandrel is difficult to remove
Ensure the trigger is fully released and the automatic wind-release system has completed its cycle; clean the threads of the mandrel.
Tool losing hydraulic power
Inspect the hydraulic fluid levels using the syringe; refill if necessary and bleed the system per the manual's instructions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Connect the tool to an airline with a standard quick-connect fitting. Ensure the air supply is filtered and dry to protect the internal hydraulic seals.
Mandrel Selection: Choose the mandrel that matches your rivet size (M3-M12). Use the provided spanners to secure the mandrel into the nosepiece tightly to avoid thread slippage during operation.
Compatibility: The tool is compatible with all standard steel, aluminum, and stainless steel nut rivets within the M3-M12 range.
Maintenance: Regularly check the hydraulic fluid levels using the included syringe. Keep the nosepiece clean from metal shavings or debris that could impede the stroke cycle. Always store the tool in a dry environment to prevent corrosion of the internal components.
