    Installed

    Made of heat-treated aluminum, these rivets meet MIL-C-5541. They are lightweight, nonmagnetic, and chemically treated for good corrosion resistance, leaving a gold-colored finish. Install in a countersunk hole and the angled head sits flush with the material's surface.
    Installation of solid rivets requires access to both sides of the material as well as a hammer or a solid rivet tool. To achieve the most consistent results and a professional appearance, we recommend using a riveting air hammer with a rivet setter that matches the rivet's head style, and a bucking bar.

    Aluminum Domed Head Blind Rivets

    Image of ProductInUse. Installed. Top orientation. Contains Annotated, Border. Rivets. Aluminum Domed Head Blind Rivets.

    Installed

    Made of aluminum, these blind rivets are lightweight and corrosion resistant. The domed head gives your project a finished appearance.
    Use these blind rivets to fasten hinges, shelves, or other assemblies where you can only access one side. They’re also commonly used to join metals that are difficult to solder or weld. For a permanent hold, the back of the rivet deforms to resist vibration and prevent overtightening and stripping.
    To install these rivets, you’ll need a blind rivet tool (sold separately). Be sure to pick a tool that’s compatible with your rivet’s diameter and material.

    Create threads in hard-to-work areas—where you can’t reach the back of a workpiece, or material is too thin to be tapped. For a strong grip, these rivet-mount nuts have distorted threads that increase friction with bolts. Because they mount with two rivets, they won’t spin when you’re tightening screws. However, these nuts do move inside their retainers, which lets you install bolts at a slight angle; use them to align with off-center parts. All meet military guidelines for dimensions and material.
    A286 Stainless Steel—A286 stainless steel nuts are corrosion resistant.
    Cadmium-Plated Carbon Steel and Cadmium-Plated Steel—Cadmium-plated nuts resist corrosion in industrial and saltwater environments, although will lose their corrosion resistance over 450° F. The cadmium plating also adds lubricity, making these nuts easy to install.
    Silver-Plated A286 Stainless Steel—Silver-plated stainless steel nuts withstand temperatures up to 800° F. The silver plating also adds lubricity and prevents seizing caused by friction between nuts and bolts.
    Lubricated—Lubricated nuts thread onto bolts smoothly.
