JRP Riveting Products - 4.8 X 20mm - Silver

A peel rivet is a type of blind rivet designed to create a strong mechanical joint. When the rivet gun pulls the mandrel, the rivet body expands and then 'peels' or splits at the back of the material, forming a secure anchor.

For a 20mm long rivet, the effective grip range is typically between approximately 4mm and 12mm (total thickness of materials being joined). Always test on scrap material for precise applications.

Yes, the aluminium and steel construction provides moderate corrosion resistance. For prolonged exposure to harsh weather or saltwater environments, consider using stainless steel rivets or applying protective coatings.

For 4.8mm rivets, a drill bit between 4.9mm and 5.0mm is generally recommended. It's best to consult the specifications of your rivet gun or test on scrap material to confirm the optimal hole size.

Peel rivets can typically be removed by drilling through the rivet head with a drill bit slightly larger than the rivet body, or by using a specialized rivet removal tool.

While strong, peel rivets are generally considered medium-duty fasteners. For critical structural applications requiring high load-bearing capacity, solid rivets or specialized structural blind rivets may be more appropriate.

Dome head rivets have a rounded, raised head that sits on the surface, providing a good bearing area. Countersunk head rivets have a conical shape that sits flush with the material surface when used with corresponding countersunk holes, offering a smooth finish.

Ensure the rivet gun is properly set up for 4.8mm rivets and that the jaws are clean and in good condition. Check if the rivet is fully seated in the gun.

Verify that the drilled hole size is appropriate for the rivet. The materials may be too thick for the rivet's grip range, or the rivet gun may not be applying sufficient force. Check for debris in the hole.

This can be due to incorrect rivet gun settings or worn internal mechanisms. Consult your rivet gun's manual for adjustment or maintenance procedures.

This might indicate that the material being riveted is too hard or too brittle for this type of rivet, or the hole size is incorrect. Ensure the material is compatible with aluminium/steel rivets.
