Rivets
Proferred Blind Rivets by BBI. "Preferred by professionals"
Blind rivets are a very versatile fastening system and are mainly used in applications where there's no access to the rear or blind side of the joint. The rivets have a two piece construction. One is called the rivet body or the shell and the other is the stem or mandrel. Both parts are pre-assembled and ready to use. Fastening is done by using a special tool to draw the mandrel which causes the body to deform and clamp the joint. On reaching the designed clamping force, the mandrel snaps and it is discarded.
RC Fasteners & Components stocks 4 different material combinations of the body and the mandrel to meet your application requirements. We provide a range of diameter and grip range options to meet your sizing requirements and provide accessories like backup rivet washers for applications requiring extra support. RC Fasteners also carries various styles including countersunk blind rivets, large flange blind rivets, closed-end blind rivets and multi-grip blind rivets.
