Anchor 2-piece rivets install quickly into a predrilled hole; drive pin expands to secure rivet. Push-In Usually made of nylon, push-in rivets have split shank legs that compress and expand to fasten soft materials to lock into holes. Use on soft or hard materials. Generally not reusable. Semitubular/Tubular Rivets can be used to fasten soft and hard materials. Set with a hand rivet clincher. • Semitubular- Similar to tubular rivets, but require much less insertion force. Commonly used in impact-riveting applications • Tubular- Have a hole in the headless end. Most commonly used in self-piercing applications where a pre-drilled hole is not required, such as industrial, aerospace, and automotive manufacturing. |

Solid One-piece fasteners are permanently set using a hammer or rivet press, and expand in the hole to securely lock parts together. Split Used to fasten soft materials together. Shank is comprised of 2 legs that pierce the material and then fold over to fasten. T-Rivet Ideal for automotive applications, specialty rivets feature a wide back-side bearing surface to reduce rivet pullout. |
| BLIND RIVETS Blind rivets are designed for blind-side applications where only 1 side of the material is accessible. They will not mar or scratch painted or other |
finished materials. For best results, match the rivet material to the material being fastened. A rivet tool is required for setting blind rivets |

BLIND RIVET HEAD TYPES 120° Countersunk For applications where flush appearance is required. Button Provides adequate bearing for many industrial applications. Low profile head diameter is twice rivet body diameter. Closed-End Ideal for applications where a liquid-resistant seal is needed. Closed-End Hollow Core Features 100% mandrel head retention. Provides shear and tensile strength over open-end rivets of similar sizes and materials. Ideal for applications where a liquid-tight seal is required. Large Flange Provides a larger grip range to accommodate variations in material thickness. Multigrip Provides maximum clamping action for a variety of materials. Structural Domed Provides a low-profile finished assembly. Tri-Bulb Large blind-side footprint allows use in oversized holes. Use with both soft and brittle materials. |
