Improves torque-to-turn by up to 350% in sheet metal compared to round-body inserts.
Increases punch life compared to hexagonal geometries.
Blind hole, one-sided installation capability.
Superior pull-out performance.
Can be used for very thin sheet materials from 0.50mm (0.02″).
Provide a female thread-in application.
Can be installed in pre-coated or post-painted applications without damaging the surface.
Clamp two or more sheets.
Various platings available to increase corrosion resistance.
Large-flange head provides a load-bearing surface and reinforces the hole to prevent push-out.

Through thick and thin, Grip Tite™ rivets feature strong, vibration-resistant joints. Even with thin sheet metal or plastics, Grip Tite™ rivets will set without any material deformation. Grip Tite™ rivets provide mandrel retention and an impressive expanded footprint on the blind side. The wide blind side expansion feature can compensate for irregular holes and spread…
