    Installed

    18-8 stainless steel rivets have good corrosion resistance and may be mildly magnetic. 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.
    A blind rivet tool (sold separately) with a nosepiece that matches the rivet's diameter is required for installation.

    For Material Thickness—The combined thickness of material must fall within the rivet's material thickness range.
    Shear Strength—Shear strength is the amount of force it takes to break a rivet from the side.
    Tensile Strength—Tensile strength is the amount of pull a rivet can withstand without breaking. Joint strength is also affected by rivet spacing and hole size.
