Structural Rivets

A two-piece blind fastener consisting of (1) a mandrel with flared, hollowed-out head and a serrated stem; and (2) a self contained tubular body with a head which has a dome shape.

This structural rivet has greater tensile strength and shear strength than a standard break-stem blind rivet. The way the mandrel expands radially when pulling through the rivet body enables it to completely fill holes that are out-of-round. Can be used to join two metals or a metal and a plastic. Structural rivets are used in automotive manufacturing, home appliances, cabinetry and HVAC applications. Unlike Monobolts (R), generic structural rivets do not require a special nose piece to be used when seating the rivets.
