FAQs

What type of tool is needed to install these rivets?

These disc rivets require a standard rivet gun (also known as a blind rivet tool) that is compatible with the 3/4" (20mm) rivet size.

Are these rivets suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, they are made of high-quality copper, which offers excellent resistance to corrosion and is ideal for outdoor roofing and construction applications.

Can I use these rivets on wood?

Yes, these rivets are suitable for joining metal to wood, as well as metal to metal and other compatible construction materials.

What is the main advantage of using disc rivets over standard rivets?

Disc rivets generally offer a larger bearing surface and can provide a stronger, more secure hold, especially in softer materials or when dealing with potential pull-through issues.

How do I ensure a strong connection?

Ensure the materials are held tightly together and the rivet gun is operated correctly to apply sufficient force. The correct rivet size for the material thickness is also crucial.

Is copper more durable than steel for rivets?

Copper offers superior corrosion resistance compared to many types of steel. For sheer shear strength, some steel alloys might be stronger, but copper's longevity in exposed environments is a significant advantage.

Troubleshooting

Rivet not setting properly

Ensure the rivet gun is applying sufficient force and the nose piece is correctly aligned. Check that the rivet is fully seated before activation. Verify the rivet gun is suitable for the rivet size.

Mandrel not snapping cleanly

The rivet gun may need adjustment or maintenance. Ensure the rivet material is not exceeding the tool's capacity. Try a different rivet from the batch to see if the issue persists.

Loose joint after riveting

The materials may have been too far apart before riveting, or insufficient force was applied. Ensure materials are held tightly together before and during the riveting process. Consider a longer rivet if material thickness is variable.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent durability and corrosion resistance due to high-quality copper construction.
  • Provides a strong and secure hold suitable for structural applications.
  • Easy installation process for efficient project completion.
  • Designed for longevity, reducing the need for frequent replacements.
  • Versatile for various roofing and construction needs.

Cons

  • May require specific riveting tools not always included in standard kits.
  • Copper material can be more costly than steel alternatives.
  • Not ideal for applications where extreme flexibility is needed post-installation.
  • Visually distinct; may not suit all aesthetic requirements.
  • Less common than standard blind rivets, potentially limiting immediate availability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These disc rivets are designed for use with a standard rivet gun. Ensure the rivet gun is compatible with the shank diameter of the rivet. Insert the rivet into the appropriate hole in the materials to be joined. Position the rivet gun nose piece over the rivet head and squeeze the handles firmly and consistently until the mandrel snaps off. For best results, ensure a snug fit of the materials before riveting.

Compatibility: Owlett-Jaton Copper Disc Rivets are suitable for joining a variety of materials commonly found in roofing and construction, including metal sheets, wood, and some plastics. They are ideal for applications where corrosion resistance is a key requirement, such as outdoor structures, gutters, and metal roofing panels. Always ensure the materials being joined can accommodate the rivet size and strength.

Care: Copper is naturally corrosion-resistant and requires minimal care. For optimal longevity, ensure that the riveted joints are not subjected to excessive stress or abrasive cleaning methods. Periodic inspection of joints for any signs of damage or loosening is recommended, though the durable nature of these rivets typically ensures a long service life with no specific maintenance required.
