Closed end pop rivets also provide a complete mandrel retention which gives the sealed rivet a higher tensile strength and can be important in electronic and electrical applications. These rivets also boast a higher tensile strength than regular pop rivets.Ĭlosed End Pop Rivets are often referred to as sealed blind rivets, or sealing rivets because they create a watertight seal when installed properly, making them a popular item in the boating and automotive industries. Closed end rivets are used to attach materials quickly and efficiently. Closed End RivetsĬlosed End Rivets differ from a standard blind pop rivet due to their closed end which creates a watertight seal. On an all aluminum blind rivet, both the hat and mandrel of the rivet have all of these qualities making these fasteners a versatile, durable, lightweight and inexpensive solution. We recommend only using aluminum with aluminum to help prevent galvanic corrosion. It can also be used for many electrical applications due to its high levels of conductivity. Aluminum is not magnetic, accepts paint well, and is non-staining. Aluminum as an alloy forms its own protective coating making it resistant to atmospheric corrosion and is generally less expensive than stainless steel fasteners of the same type. Aluminum Rivets in this selection feature an all aluminum design meaning that both the hat and mandrel of the rivet are made of aluminum unless designated otherwise.Īluminum rivets are used for a variety of reasons besides weight as well.

Rivets are used because they are a quick and easy way to join two pieces of material together, and do not require threading making them ideal for use with thin metals and other thin application surfaces.Blind rivets require access to the installation surface from only one side, making them easy to install with the use of a rivet gun or hand riveter.Īluminum blind rivets are commonly used in the automotive, aerospace, boating and metal fabrication industries due to the high strength-to-weight ratio of the metal. Aluminum Pop RivetsĪlso known as blind rivets or pull rivets, this type of rivet is used due to its efficiency and ease of use. In clear durable assortment containers, safely store and easily identify the size you need at a glance. These kits both offer 6 popular sizes from #4-2 all the way to #6-8. When using aluminum, it is recommended to use the same material fastener to minimize the chances of galvanic corrosion from occurring. Aluminum rivets are perfect for securing aluminum materials together. Not sure what material you need? Check out our Material Guide to find the right material for your needs! Rivet Assortment Kits Aluminum POP RivetsĪluminum assortment kits offer a variety of POP rivets, in closed or open end varieties, in a run of sizes. Multi-Grip Rivets are available in 1/8" and 3/16" diameters, in fastener callout sizes ranging from #4-1 through #6-12. Aluminum is commonly used because it is significantly less expensive, however it does not offer the same level of durability as stainless steel. The hat and mandrel are both either Aluminum, or Aluminum with a steel mandrel. Multi-Grip Pop Rivets are available in Aluminum alloy. Each rivet can be used as an equivalent for at least three different rivet sizes. This grip range allows for flexibility in design and a lower rivet inventory, as one size of multi grip rivet can be suitable for a variety of jobs, including mismatched holes. One Multi Grip Rivet has the grip range of different rivet sizes. Multi Grip Rivets can substitute conventional rivets in applications where the thickness of the riveted material varies.
