Large Rivet

A large rivet is structurally a metal cylindrical shank with a blind head. After clinching, this head functions as the closing head. Installing large rivets with an increased diameter requires heating to 900°C, so they are only installed hot.

Applications

Rivets are designed to join various elements and surfaces. Versions with protruding flanges are used to join panels made of composite materials, aluminium, asbestos sheets or fibre cement. The enlarged flanges ensure a reliable joint even for elements made of loose materials.

Features

In addition to their larger size, these rivets feature a zinc-plated coating that protects them from moisture, temperature effects and direct sunlight. Their large dimensions allow such rivets to be used for joining massive elements.
