Rivets - Alum Black Large Flange 4.0 X 10 mm

The large flange (11.8 mm) distributes the load over a wider area, which is beneficial for preventing pull-through on softer materials like plastic or thin sheet metal.

These aluminium rivets are best suited for medium-duty applications. For very high-stress structural joints, steel rivets may be more appropriate.

These 10 mm rivets are generally suitable for joining materials with a combined thickness of approximately 4.0 mm to 6.0 mm. Always check specific application requirements.

Yes, you will need a rivet gun (manual, pneumatic, or electric) that is designed to work with 4.0 mm diameter rivets.

The black anodised aluminium offers good corrosion resistance, making them suitable for many outdoor applications. However, for extremely corrosive environments, stainless steel rivets might be a better choice.

Each pack contains approximately 100 rivets.

The primary differences lie in their dimensions (diameter and length) and flange size, catering to various material thicknesses and holding strength requirements. This specific model, PRB22, has a 4.0 x 10 mm size with a 11.8 mm flange diameter.

Ensure the rivet gun is compatible with 4.0 mm rivets and is functioning correctly. Check that the material thickness is within the recommended range for the rivet length. Verify the drilled hole is the correct diameter.

The rivet gun may require adjustment or maintenance. Ensure you are using the correct nose piece for the rivet diameter. If the problem persists, the rivet itself might be defective.

Confirm the drilled hole is not too large, which would allow the rivet body to pass through too easily. Ensure the materials are held firmly together before setting the rivet.

Although anodised, prolonged exposure to harsh environments can affect the finish. Store rivets in a dry environment and use them promptly. Clean any affected rivets before use if appearance is critical.
