HOW TO DETERMINE PROPER RIVET
In choosing the proper rivet for a job, there are two basic
things to consider:
1. Material – select based on the strength needed, corrosion
resistance and material to be joined.
• Steel or stainless steel*– high strength. Use when
joining steel to steel.
• Aluminum – medium strength. Use with aluminum where
rust is a problem.
2. Size (SEE FIGURE 1)
• Diameter - Use larger diameters to create stronger joints.
• Grip Range - Select rivet with a grip range larger than
the thickness of materials to be fastened.
• NOTE: use washers when joining soft materials
like leather or when the hole is oversized

If there is no pre-existing hole, drill hole through
materials to be fastened in accordance with blind rivet
diameter.
• Select correct nosepiece in accordance with rivet
