Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure you have a compatible rivet gun (riveter tool).
- Select the appropriate drill bit size to create a hole for the rivet shank through the materials you wish to join.
- Insert the rivet into the designated hole.
- Place the nose of the rivet gun onto the rivet head and squeeze the handles to set the rivet.
- Release the handles and remove the spent rivet mandrel.
Compatibility:
These rivets are designed for use with standard rivet guns that accommodate 6.4 mm (1/4") rivet shanks. They are suitable for joining a variety of materials including aluminium, steel, plastic, and composites, provided the material thickness falls within the rivet's grip range.
Care:
Store rivets in a dry environment to prevent premature corrosion, especially if exposed to moisture. Clean any dust or debris from the rivet gun's jaws periodically to ensure optimal performance.
