OTHER RIVET TYPES
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.
