100 x Black Aluminium Rivets, Dome Headed 3.2 x 8mm Blind Pop Rivet

Product Information

Although rivets definitely have seniority in the wide world of fasteners, our hardware selection, which includes nuts, studs and standoffs offers a wider range of potential applications. Not only that, but because they employ a threaded joint, PEM hardware is completely removable if your application doesn’t call for a permanent joint. Installed fasteners, like rivets, are also extremely vibration resistant, which allows them to be used in automotive and other repetitive motion applications.

Split or bifurcated rivets are similar in shape to solid rivets except that the tail end of the shaft is split, allowing a special wedge tool to be used to expand the two “legs” once the rivet is inserted through the two pieces of material. Split rivets require access to both sides of the material and are typically used in softer plastics, heavy fabric and leatherwork. Tubular Rivet This is the great-granddaddy of all other rivets, consisting of a simple shank or shaft with a head at one end. Solid rivets come in various profiles to fit the application; the pan head, the domed head, the low profile mushroom head (no, we aren’t making things up), and the flat head. The solid rivet is sturdy and no-nonsense, and very few fastening methods are as consistent in their ability to hold two materials together. Blind Rivet Our Quarter Turn Fastener range is available in a choice of materials, including; Acetal Co-Polymer, Acetal RMS-14, Polyoxymethylene (POM), Nylon 6/6 and Polyamide. Although limitations to rivets exist, there are still many great applications across various industries: aircraft construction and sheet metal fabricators still often employ riveted joints because they are nearly immune to loosening with vibration. The RV industry uses riveting techniques to fasten materials like plastic, plywood and aluminum together–try doing that with a welded joint sometime. Further, if the proper precautions are taken, rivets can be waterproof making them the fastener of choice in many shipbuilding applications.

In the DIY world, by far the most popular type of rivet is the pop rivet, mainly because it can be used when you only have access to one side of your work. The biggest downside? Unless you feel like taking a drill to your shiny new project, that rivet is permanent. Suitable for front panel mounting, these economical clips easily snap into round holes and cover a smaller surface area. They are ideal for securely holding a variety of materials in place, including both metals and plastics. No tools are required for installation - simply apply thumb pressure over the flat round-shaped head. Rivets are intended to offer awesome flexibility, enabling them to fasten wood, metal, plastic and substantially more. They are especially suited for restricting delicate, thin materials and generally fragile connections. Most common, everyday rivet applications include:

Blind Rivets Blind rivetsare tubular fasteners with a mandrel through the center, designed to be inserted into predrilled holes. These rivets utilize a specialized tool that draws the mandrel through the body of the rivet, creating a secure hold. Suitable for light to medium duty applications; a Pop Rivet can be used in place of adhesives, screws, nuts and bolts. Pop Fasteners permanently fix two materials together. They are ideal for thin applications, and suitable for materials including; woods, metals and plastics. Rivets are available in several styles and material options, including blind rivets, copper belt rivets, plastic snap rivets, and more. Some of the more popular rivets include the following styles: Rivets provide a solution for joining dissimilar materials together, including nonmetallic materials like plastics, wood, and more. Riveting is relatively inexpensive compared to other fastening methods, particularly for high-volume applications. Additional rivet benefits include:Jay-Cee is proud to supply our customers with the rivets you need. As a global distributor of premium fastening products, Jay-Cee is large enough to manage your global fastening needs while providing personalized support for your small projects. Our priority is to ensure you have the best fasteners you need for your application. Barbed rivets- commonly called pop rivets, they ensure fast and easy installation and can be applied to various materials such as wood, metal and rubber The observant individual reading this article might assume that this means the countersunk head sits even with the surface of the workpiece. They’d be right. A hole with a countersink (typically a 100° bevel) is matched to the size of a rivet with a 100° chamfer on the shoulder. These rivets can be blind or solid, and have obvious advantages for aesthetics and aerodynamic drag characteristics (think, less turbulence on the airplane wings). Metal Rivet Materials

For a deeper dive into each of our PEM fasteners, and additional insight into how you can use them in your next build, take a look at the Hardware Guidelines, and Best Practices writeups. Material Selection for Hardware Installation A rivet is a mechanical fastener used for joining two panels, or multiple objects together. It is made up of a smooth cylindrical shaft with a head at one end. To install the rivet, the end without the head is inserted through a hole in both of the objects to be joined and the head is then hammered or pressed onto the exposed end. This expands the shaft, creating a tight and secure joint. Also available are Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) installation tools, available in Green. This tool is suitable for Drive Rivets and offers faster assembly and more accuracy of rivet placement. ABS benefits from good heat, impact, chemical, impact and abrasion resistance. It also has great stability, tensile strength, surface hardness, rigidity and electrical properties, and even copes well at low temperatures. The large plunger head and easy-grip handle help reduce operator fatigue. Install by; load rivet into the tool and insert into the application hole. Pressure on the plunger frees the pin and expands the rivet in the assembly. Our Pop Riveting range is strong, but lightweight. It offers good electrical insulating properties, as well as resistance from vibraton, abrasion and corrosion. Tubular Rivets have a shank hole within the shaft of the rivet and are available with different head styles such as the oval, button, flat and countersunk.Canoe Clips are a low-cost fastener, designed to work in the same way as a rivet or a screw. The design of these clips means they are easier to remove than other rivets. The range features a variety of styles, including those with a fully hollow anchor, or those that have a partially hollow anchor.

When specifying PEM fasteners in your sheet metal from us, the amount of work per fastener is reduced to the time it takes to thread a nut or bolt. Consistency Browse our extensive Nylon Snap Rivet range that fits with a simple push, and have a tidy and smooth finish. Options made from Nylon 6, with a UL94 V2 flame resistance, or made from Nylon 6/66 with a flame resistance of UL94 V0. Also available in the Nylon Snap Rivets range are Heat Resistant Rivet Snaps made from Nylon 4/6 that have a UL94 V2 flame resistance rating. Tubular (or semi-tubular) rivets resemble a solid rivet with a hole drilled partway through the tail end of the shaft. They are installed in the same way as solid rivets–with access to both sides of the fastener being required–but only require about a quarter of the force to set the rivet. Because the tubular rivets only deform at the hollow end, rather than throughout the length of the shaft, they can be used for pivot joints. Flush Rivet Snap Rivets are supplied pre-assembled and simply push into the required holes providing a fast and neat solution. Easily installed, with a hammer or with a special riveting tool. Pop Riveters are inserted into a tight panel hole, passing through the two materials being riveted.Solid rivets, or the original rivet. These solid fasteners resist water, vibration, tampering, and other severe conditions. This Rivet Gun is suitable for use with Pop Rivets. The combination setting tool is ideal for one-hand applications. The single handed operation allows you to decrease the pressure required for riveting by up to 40 percent. This is achieved because operating force increases as a users hand closes around the lever; this force is fully taken advantage of by way of the special lever with an ergonomic design.
