The Open End POP Blind Rivet is a hollow rivet pre-assembled on to a headed pin or mandrel. Providing
strong, low cost fastening, the Open End POP Rivet is ideal for a wide variety of applications where the materials to be fastened do not have high load bearing requirements. Open End POP Rivets are available in a wide variety of materials (aluminium, magnesium alloy, copper, mild steel, nickel-copper alloy, & stainless steel) and combinations with dome, countersunk, or large-flange head styles. Open End POP Rivets Closed End POP Rivets Closed End POP Rivets provide up to 23% greater tensile strength than equivalent Open End POP Rivets. In addition, the Closed End POP Rivet incorporates a unique cup-shaped end configuration that seals tight, preventing passage of vapor or liquid around or through the set rivet. Closed End POP Rivets also provide 100% mandrel retention, which is an important factor in electric and electronic equipment applications. They are available in dome or countersunk head styles. Soft Set POP Rivets Identical in appearance to regular Open End & Closed End POP Rivets, Soft Set POP Rivets incorporate a body and mandrel of special aluminum alloys. Breaking at a lower tensile point than regular mandrels, Soft Set POP Rivets afford a firm grip and also provide the more moderate pressures essential in fastening some of the more brittle materials. MultiGrip POP Rivets MultiGrip POP Rivets are useful in applications where: .different material thicknesses normally require several rivet sizes .components are supplied to the user with holes already punched or drilled .the sheets to be joined are folded or curved, making it difficult to match up two holes of the correct size The wide grip range of MultiGrip POP Rivets permits design flexibility and reduced rivet inventory, resulting in substantial cost savings. They are also resistant to vibrations. HR (High Retention) POP Rivets HR POP Rivets are high retention rivets designed for use in metal and plastic-to-metal applications. The unique rib design of HR POP Rivets accommodates larger primary holes in plastic and thin sheet metal without causing deformation or stress fractures. UltraGrip POP Rivets UltraGrip POP Rivets, with the positive mechanical locking system, provide superior holding power over other types of high strength POP rivets. The locking system guarantees 100% mandrel retention and also seals the mandrel head into the body, preventing head drop-out as well as keeping the application free of contamination from metal fragments. Grooved POP Rivets Peel Type POP Rivets T-Rivets Easy Entry POP Rivets LSR (Load Spreading Rivet) POP Rivets Peel Type POP Rivets have a unique setting action, making it suitable for joining plastics, rubber, wood, GRP & laminates. On setting, the body of the rivet splits into four petals, allowing it to withstand high pull-out loads. Peel Type POP Rivets are made of aluminum 3.5% magnesium alloy with carbon steel mandrels. They are widely used in the assembly of caravans, trailers. furniture, plastic-framed windows, and in any other products involving the joining of soft or friable materials. As the name suggests, POP Grooved Rivets are produced by externally grooving an A13.5%Mg rivet shaft. Grooved POP Rivets are designed to set within a hole in fibrous materials such as wood. When the Grooved POP Rivet sets, the body shortens and the fibres of the material are grasped between the closed grooves of the rivet. With a new innovative "Cone Head" mandrel point, Easy Entry POP Rivets line up odd shaped or misaligned holes in multiple sheets of material to make production easier and faster. Compared to some fastening systems, Easy Entry POP Rivets increase productivity by significantly reducing assembly time. In addition, improved radial expansion during setting helps ensure a strong and tight fit, even in oversized holes. Easy Entry POP Rivets insert quickly to provide an excellent hold in thin-gauge metals such as aluminum and steel. LSR POP Rivets are designed for use in plastics, wood, GRP, laminates, & in other thin, brittle or soft materials. LSR POP Rivets should be selected whenever the materials to be fastened are so soft or brittle that the tensile force exerted by a conventional rivet would cause damage, as LSR POP Rivets feature a secondary head that forms large "folds". This provides a larger bearing surface, which adds resistance to pull-through or cracking that can occur in some materials with a standard rivet. T-Rivets are designed for use in high strength fastening applications and in extreme pull-up properties such as construction, where tensile strength as high as 1100 pounds, and shear strengths as high as 2400 pounds may be essential.
