JRP Riveting Products - Aluminium/Steel Dome Head Rivets - 4.0 X 8mm

These rivets are ideal for general-purpose metal joining in applications like automotive repair, sheet metal fabrication, and various DIY projects where a secure and clean finish is required.

You will need a standard rivet gun (hand-operated or pneumatic) designed to accommodate 4.0mm rivets.

Yes, the aluminium/steel construction offers good resistance to corrosion, making them suitable for many outdoor applications. However, for extremely harsh marine or corrosive environments, stainless steel rivets might be a better choice.

A dome head rivet has a rounded, slightly protruding head that offers a good bearing surface and a clean aesthetic. A flat head rivet (or countersunk head) is designed to sit flush with the surface when used with a countersunk hole, providing a completely smooth finish.

Each bag contains 100 rivets.

The typical grip range for 4.0 x 8mm rivets is approximately 1.5mm to 6.5mm. Always check the specific grip range of your rivet gun and the materials you are joining.

No, rivets create a permanent joint and are generally not designed for easy removal without damaging the joined materials or the rivet itself.

Ensure the rivet gun is set to the correct pressure or force. Check if the rivet gun jaws are worn or if the rivet itself is damaged. Verify the rivet gun is compatible with the rivet size.

The hole may be too large for the rivet. Check the material thickness to ensure it is within the rivet's grip range. Ensure the rivet is fully seated in the rivet gun nose piece.

Clear any debris or snapped mandrels from the gun mechanism. Ensure you are using the correct size rivets for your gun. Refer to your rivet gun's manual for specific jamming procedures.

Verify that the correct rivet size and type are used for the material thickness. Ensure holes are properly aligned and drilled to the correct diameter. Make sure the rivet gun is applying sufficient force.
