About Installing Blind Rivets

Aluminum Domed Head Sealing Blind Rivets
Lightweight and nonmagnetic, these rivets have good corrosion resistance. The body deforms to seal the bottom of the rivet and prevent water and air from passing through. They provide higher shear and tensile strengths than standard blind rivets and the portion of the mandrel that's retained inside the rivet after installation won't loosen over time and fall out. Use blind rivets to fasten material when you only have access to one side. A low-profile domed head creates a finished appearance.
The combined thickness of material must fall within the rivet's material thickness range. Shear strength is the amount of force it takes to break a rivet from the side, and tensile strength is the amount of pull a rivet can withstand without breaking. Joint strength is also affected by rivet spacing and hole size.
A blind rivet tool (sold separately) with a nosepiece that matches the rivet's diameter is required for installation.

Aluminum Domed Head Sealing Blind Rivets with Plastic Seal
Plastic bonded to the underside of the head creates a stronger seal than metal alone. These rivets are lightweight, nonmagnetic, and have good corrosion resistance. The body deforms to seal the bottom of the rivet and prevent water and air from passing through. They provide higher shear and tensile strengths than standard blind rivets and the portion of the mandrel that's retained inside the rivet after installation won't loosen over time and fall out. Use blind rivets to fasten material when you only have access to one side. A low-profile domed head creates a finished appearance.
The combined thickness of material must fall within the rivet's material thickness range. Shear strength is the amount of force it takes to break a rivet from the side, and tensile strength is the amount of pull a rivet can withstand without breaking. Joint strength is also affected by rivet spacing and hole size.
A blind rivet tool (sold separately) with a nosepiece that matches the rivet's diameter is required for installation.

Flush-Mount Sealing Blind Rivets
Install these rivets in countersunk holes and the angled head sits flush with the material's surface. The body deforms to seal the bottom of the rivet and prevent water and air from passing through. They provide higher shear and tensile strengths than standard blind rivets and the portion of the mandrel that's retained inside the rivet after installation won't loosen over time and fall out. Made of aluminum, rivets are lightweight, nonmagnetic, and have good corrosion resistance. Use to join material when you only have access to one side.
The combined thickness of material must fall within the rivet's material thickness range. Shear strength is the amount of force it takes to break a rivet from the side, and tensile strength is the amount of pull a rivet can withstand without breaking. Joint strength is also affected by rivet spacing and hole size.
A blind rivet tool (sold separately) with a nosepiece that matches the rivet's diameter is required for installation.
