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…
Designed for joining plastics and other brittle or soft materials.
Clamping loads spread over wide area, avoiding damage to vulnerable materials.
Accommodates oversized holes.
Corrosion-resistant.
High-strength aluminum 3.5% magnesium alloy.
Limited number of lengths needed because of wide grip range – up to 12.0mm.
Blind hole, one-sided installation capability.
Assembly applications include mobile homes, plastic-framed windows, plywood furniture, and timber products.
Suggested Applications:
LS are perfectly suited to plastics, wood, GRP, laminates, and thin-gauge materials. LS rivets have an important role to play in applications including the assembly of mobile homes and park homes, installation of plastic-framed windows, and the manufacture of plywood furniture or timber products such as trailers.
This rivet 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. Alternatively, use the soft-set rivet where a smaller secondary head is desired.
Our Multi-Grip™ rivets do the job of several sizes of standard rivets. Multi-Grip™ rivets are best suited for applications where different material thicknesses normally require several rivet sizes. The wide grip range capability permits design flexibility and reduced rivet inventory, which can result in substantial cost savings. Multi-Grip™ rivets are valuable where components are supplied…
