FAQs

What is the grip range for these rivets?

The grip range for these rivets is from 4mm to 12mm.

Are these rivets suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, the aluminium construction offers good resistance to corrosion, making them suitable for many outdoor applications, though prolonged exposure to harsh conditions may eventually affect them.

What tools are needed to install these rivets?

You will need a standard rivet gun compatible with 4.8mm (3/16") rivets to install them.

What does 'Peel Type' mean for a rivet?

Peel type rivets have a distinctive feature where the mandrel splits into several 'legs' (peels) as it's pulled, creating a wider blind-side bearing area. This helps spread the load and prevents damage to softer materials.

How many rivets are in a pack?

Each pack contains 200 premium aluminium rivets.

What standard do these rivets comply with?

These rivets comply with DIN 7337 standards, ensuring quality and reliability.

Can these rivets be used on steel?

Yes, these rivets can be used on steel as well as other materials like aluminum and plastic, provided the total material thickness falls within the 4mm to 12mm grip range.

Troubleshooting

Rivet stem does not break cleanly

Ensure the rivet gun is properly calibrated and the jaws are clean. Check that the rivet size is compatible with the rivet gun's settings.

Rivet is loose or does not hold securely

Verify that the material thickness is within the specified grip range (4-12mm). Ensure the holes are appropriately sized and the rivet gun was operated with sufficient force.

Rivet head flares out excessively or cracks material

Confirm the material is not too brittle for this type of rivet. Ensure the correct grip range is being used; an oversized rivet can cause excessive pressure.
