RS PRO Aluminium Blind Rivet, 3.2mm

RS PRO Dome Head Open Blind Rivet

Introducing the range of RS PRO Blind Rivets, designed to easily secure joints into a permanent mechanical fastening. Blind rivets are easy to install into a pre-drilled hole where they expand and create a strong and solid permanent fixing and are ideal for applications where only one side is accessible. The combination of the aluminium and steel rivet design ensures weatherproofing and corrosion resistance for a longer-lasting life with optimum fastening performance, making these RS PRO rivets strong, lightweight and low cost, as well as being incredibly versatile for a wide range of fastening applications in a variety of materials.

Features and Benefits:

• These RS PRO domed blind rivets are the perfect low-cost solution for a wide range of fastening applications, creating a secure, permanent join


• The dome head is the most common and multifunctional style meaning the blind rivet can be used as a high tensile structural fixing in multiple materials


• Thanks to the design of the rivet, it’s an ideal solution for areas with limited access, or where access is only available on one side of the join, which makes it harder to use machine screws and nuts


• The aluminium and steel rivet construction ensures excellent weather and corrosion resistance, offering a longer-lasting fastener life with minimal maintenance


• Ideal for use in modular buildings, portable wash facilities and plastic pallet and storage solutions

Applications:

Rivets are a type of mechanical fastener that has been designed with a cylindrical shaft with a head and tail on each opposing end. They are generally placed into a pre-drilled hole, while the other end is set with a rivet tool, rivet gun or pneumatic hammer, allowing them to expand and hold the rivet in place, which makes them really easy to install. Rivets are a low-cost, but heavy-duty method of creating a permanent join to steel, aluminium or copper sheets or plates – especially in applications where it is essential to create a secure join that shouldn’t become loose and could cause failure. Rivets are a commonly used fastener type and can come in many different styles and head types, depending on the application they are needed for. They are often used in:

• Building and construction


• Transportation and infrastructure


• Woodworking and decorative finishing


• Fine metalwork


• Aviation, aerospace, and automotive
