Product Details

A blind rivet is a two-piece fastener consisting of a rivet body and a setting mandrel.

• Rivet Body: This is the main component of the fastener. It features a flange or head on one end and a hollow shank. During installation, the body is inserted into a pre-drilled hole through the materials being joined. The standard head style offered is the Dome Head, which is the most common and provides sufficient bearing surface for a wide range of applications.
• Mandrel: This is a pin with a necked or weakened break-point that runs through the rivet body. A riveting tool grips the mandrel and pulls it, causing the end of the rivet body to deform and expand on the “blind” side. This expansion clamps the materials together securely. Once the joint is tight, the mandrel breaks off at its pre-determined point, leaving a clean, set rivet. The mandrel is typically zinc-plated (white or yellow) for corrosion resistance.
• Open-End Type: This is the most common and economical type of blind rivet. After setting, the hollow rivet body remains open. This design is suitable for most general-purpose applications where the joint is not required to be watertight.
