Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the grip range of these rivets?

These 3/16 inch aluminum rivets have a medium grip range of 6mm, meaning they are suitable for joining materials with a combined thickness of approximately 6mm.

Are these rivets suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, aluminum is naturally corrosion-resistant, making these rivets suitable for many outdoor applications. However, prolonged exposure to harsh environmental conditions may still cause degradation over time.

Can I use these with any rivet gun?

These rivets are designed for Arrow riveters like the RL100, RH200, and RHT300, but they are generally compatible with most other makes of riveters that accept 3/16 inch rivets.

How many rivets are in a box?

Each standard box contains 50 silver aluminum rivets.

What kind of materials can I use these rivets on?

These rivets are best suited for joining sheet metal, plastics, and other relatively soft materials where a lightweight and durable connection is needed. They are not typically recommended for high-stress structural applications.

Is there a larger quantity available?

Yes, this product is also available in an industrial pack containing 50 rivets, which might be more suitable for larger projects.

Troubleshooting

Rivet not setting properly

Check if the rivet size and grip range are appropriate for the material thickness. Ensure the riveter's nosepiece is correctly sized for the rivet and that the tool is being squeezed with sufficient force. Verify the riveter is compatible with 3/16 inch rivets.

Rivet stem not breaking off

This could indicate an issue with the riveter's internal mechanism or incorrect alignment. Ensure the rivet is fully seated in the nosepiece. If the problem persists, the riveter may require servicing or replacement.

Corrosion on rivets

Ensure rivets are stored in a dry environment. If minor surface corrosion is present, it may not affect performance but can be gently cleaned. For significant corrosion, consider using new rivets.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight yet strong aluminum material.
  • Corrosion-resistant for longevity.
  • Versatile 3/16" size for many uses.
  • Compatible with a wide range of riveters.
  • Includes 50 rivets per box, suitable for various projects.

Cons

  • Specific grip range (6mm) may limit use with thicker materials.
  • Aluminum may not be suitable for extremely high-stress applications.
  • Best performance is achieved with compatible Arrow riveters.
  • Box quantity of 50 might be insufficient for very large projects.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure your riveter (e.g., Arrow RL100, RH200, RHT300, or compatible model) is in good working order.
  2. Insert the rivet stem into the nosepiece of the riveter.
  3. Place the rivet through the pre-drilled holes in the materials you wish to join.
  4. Squeeze the riveter's trigger firmly and repeatedly until the rivet stem breaks off, securing the materials.

Compatibility:

These rivets are specifically designed to fit Arrow riveters, including the RL100, RH200, and RHT300 models. They are also generally compatible with most other standard rivet gun makes and models that accept 3/16 inch rivets.

Care:

Store rivets in a dry place to prevent corrosion. While aluminum is inherently corrosion-resistant, prolonged exposure to moisture in storage can degrade the product. Clean any debris from the riveter's nosepiece regularly to ensure smooth operation.
