18-8 stainless steel has good corrosion resistance and may be mildly magnetic. These rivets grip a much wider range of material thicknesses than standard blind rivets. Use to join material when you only have access to one side. The 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.
