Installation Tips

Drill a hole in the material slightly larger than the rivet diameter.

Insert the rivet into the hole with the mandrel sticking out.

Use a compatible rivet gun to pull the mandrel while the head is held in place.

Snap-off: The mandrel breaks away cleanly once the rivet is fully expanded, leaving a tight and flush finish.

Check the back side of the material to ensure the rivet is properly seated and expanded.

Pro Tip: Always match rivet size with material thickness and strength requirements for optimal performance.

Storage: Keep in a dry, secure place to prevent corrosion of steel components before use

Handling: Use gloves and safety glasses during installation to protect against flying mandrel tips
