Blind Rivets are lightweight, strong, permanently installed fasteners used in both light- and heavy-duty applications. They are ideal for environments where vibration is a concern, like in semi-tractor trailers, and are a good option when a watertight seal is needed. A Blind Rivet consists of a head, mandrel, and tubular body,. They are installed using a rivet installation tool that grabs the mandrel and pulls or compresses the rivet body towards the rivet head. Installation takes only seconds and is done from one side of the application, permanently joining the materials with no additional finishing required. There are many types of Blind Rivets and sizes to choose from. Contact Rivet Nut USA™ for information on the right Blind Rivet for your application or to receive a quote!
