Closed end flat round head blind rivet

• Head Styles: Dome style offer a low profile and neat appearance and are the most versatile.
• End Styles: Closed End Rivets, compared to open end rivets of the same size and material, offer superior shear and tensile strengths. Closed End Rivets feature a special solid end that seals tightly, resisting intrusion by either liquids or vapors.
• Shear & Tensile Strengths: Aluminum Rivets & Aluminum Mandrels have the lowest shear and tensile strengths. Aluminum Rivets & Steel Mandrels offer higher strength, and Steel Rivet & Steel Mandrel are even better. Stainless Steel Rivet & Stainless Steel Mandrels offer the highest shear and tensile strengths. Closed End Rivets, compared to open end rivets of the same size and material, provide greater shear and tensile strength.
• Installation: First, determine either the total thickness of the material being joined or the grip range needed. Then choose a rivet diameter that matches the rivet tool's nose piece size. Once the rivet is inserted through the hole in the material being joined, grip the mandrel by the jaws of the rivet tool. Finally, pull the lever (or "trigger") of the tool to set the rivet. (The rivet is set by pulling the mandrel into the rivet, making it expand to form a strong, tight, reliable joint.) The mandrel will break off at a predetermined setting force.
