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.
