This Sealey Aluminium Rivet Assortment (AB079AR) is designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts needing a versatile range of rivets for various assembly tasks. Its key benefit lies in the inclusion of both standard and large flange rivets in a convenient, partitioned box, ensuring easy organization and access. A potential caveat is that specific rivet sizes may be limited, requiring users to verify suitability for highly specialized applications.

You will need a standard rivet gun (riveter) to install these rivets. The rivet gun pulls the mandrel, deforming the rivet body to create a secure joint.
Large flange rivets have a wider head than standard flange rivets. This wider head distributes the load over a larger area, making them ideal for joining softer materials or preventing pull-through in thin materials.
Yes, these aluminium rivets can be used on mild steel, but for structural or high-stress applications involving steel, steel rivets are generally recommended for greater strength.
The assortment includes approximate quantities: Standard Flange: 3.2 x 10 (x50), 4.8 x 13 (x65), 4.8 x 16.5 (x50), 4.8 x 19 (x50), 4.8 x 27 (x30), 6.4 x 18mm (x20). Large Flange: 4.8 x 13 (x30), 4.8 x 19mm (x40).
Aluminium is naturally resistant to corrosion, making these rivets suitable for many outdoor and general environments. However, prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or saltwater may still affect them over time.
The total weight of the Sealey Aluminium Rivet Assortment (AB079AR) is approximately 1.24kg.
Ensure the rivet stem is fully seated in the rivet gun nosepiece. Check that the rivet diameter matches the hole size and that the material thickness is within the rivet's range. Verify the rivet gun is functioning correctly.
Check if the rivet gun's mandrel collection is full or if the nosepiece is the correct size for the rivet being used. Ensure you are applying consistent pressure.
This may indicate the material is too hard or thick for the specific rivet. Consider using a larger rivet or a rivet made of a stronger material if the application demands it. Ensure the correct flange type is used.
Setup:
To use these rivets, you will need a compatible rivet gun (riveter). Ensure the rivet gun is set up correctly according to its manufacturer's instructions. Select the appropriate rivet size and type (standard or large flange) for your material thickness and application.
Compatibility:
These aluminium rivets are compatible with standard rivet guns designed for imperial and metric rivet sizes. They are suitable for use with a variety of materials including aluminium, mild steel, plastic, and composites. Always ensure the material you are joining can accommodate the shear and tensile strength of an aluminium rivet.
Care:
Store the rivets in the provided partitioned box in a dry environment to prevent corrosion, although aluminium is naturally resistant. Keep the box closed when not in use to avoid contamination and mix-ups. Periodically check the rivet supply and replenish as needed.
