This type of blind rivet comes with a sealed end. Standard rivets are used in a number of industries including automotive, construction, metals, electrical appliances, containers, furniture, air conditioning, and heating. If you pull the mandrel partially through the rivet body, the body will expand at its “blind” end, creating a second head that can be used to permanently join the materials together. Standard blind rivets are typically used to secure metal to metal. A mandrel, a long, narrow pin with a head, goes through the recess of the body, with the head serving as a stop at the opposite end of the body to the rivet head.īlind rivets are available with different types of bodies and heads. What are the different types of blind rivets ?Ī blind rivet, sometimes called a pop rivet, has a hollow cylindrical pin (body) that is attached to the head.
Pop rivet tool manual#
For simple repairs or if you just need to add a few rivets, you can use a manual pop rivets tool.įor heavy applications such as manufacturing or construction, you should use a pneumatic or electric pop riveting tool that provides more pulling force. Installation is usually completed with a single, gentle pulling motion, but the force required for installation depends on the size of the rivet and its application. These rivets are called “pop rivets” because of the sound you hear when the mandrel breaks off. Once the joint is complete, the mandrel is snapped off at a pre-set nick for a clean finish.
Pop rivet tool install#
To install the rivet, the mandrel is pulled out with a blind riveting tool, which compresses the shank on the blind side of the workpiece, pulling the material together. Pop rivets are a relatively simple design consisting of a shank that is inserted into a pre-drilled hole and a mandrel that fits through the shank. Pop rivets are a special type of blind rivet designed to be installed from one side of a joint, making them extremely valuable for fabrication and assembly applications where you cannot access both sides of the workpiece. They are used in applications where there is limited or no access to the rear side (blindside) of the parts to be joined.
