About Installing Blind Rivets
More
Aluminum Wide-Thickness-Range Domed Head Blind Rivets
Lightweight and nonmagnetic, these rivets have good corrosion resistance. They grip a much wider range of material thicknesses than standard blind rivets. Use to join material when you only have access to one side. The low-profile domed head creates a finished appearance.
The combined thickness of material must fall within the rivet's material thickness range. Shear strength is the amount of force it takes to break a rivet from the side, and tensile strength is the amount of pull a rivet can withstand without breaking. Joint strength is also affected by rivet spacing and hole size.
Rivets with aluminum mandrels have greater corrosion resistance than rivets with steel mandrels.
A blind rivet tool (sold separately) with a nosepiece that matches the rivet's diameter is required for installation.

Wide-Thickness-Range Large-Diameter Domed Head Blind Rivets
In addition to gripping a much wider range of material thicknesses than standard blind rivets, these have a 50% larger head diameter that distributes pressure where the head meets the material surface. Use for covering irregular holes as well as extra holding power when fastening soft, thin materials to a rigid backing. Made of aluminum, rivets are lightweight, nonmagnetic, and have good corrosion resistance. They join material when you only have access to one side. The low-profile domed head creates a finished appearance.
The combined thickness of material must fall within the rivet's material thickness range. Shear strength is the amount of force it takes to break a rivet from the side, and tensile strength is the amount of pull a rivet can withstand without breaking.

Zinc-Plated Steel Wide-Thickness-Range
Domed Head High-Strength Blind Rivets
The zinc-plated finish provides mild corrosion resistance. These rivets can grip a wider range of material thicknesses than standard high-strength rivets. The mandrel expands the rivet body to completely fill the hole, providing the highest shear and tensile strengths of all the blind rivets we offer. 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.

18-8 Stainless Steel Wide-Thickness-Range
Flush-Mount High-Strength Blind Rivets
18-8 stainless steel has good corrosion resistance. These rivets can grip a wider range of material thicknesses than standard high-strength rivets. Install in countersunk holes and the angled head sits flush with the material's surface. The mandrel expands the rivet body to completely fill the hole, providing the highest shear and tensile strengths of all the blind rivets we offer. 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.
The combined thickness of material must fall within the rivet's material thickness range. Shear strength is the amount of force it takes to break a rivet from the side, and tensile strength is the amount of pull a rivet can withstand without breaking. Joint strength is also affected by rivet spacing and hole size.
A blind rivet tool (sold separately) with a nosepiece that matches the rivet's diameter is required for installation.
