Recommended application conditions for our Medium Head multi-grip rivets ABS62610M: Start with #11 Drill size for slightly over-sized 3/16″, 0.195 to 0.212 hole diameter. The application thickness before the rivet is inserted should be between 1/16″ to 5/8″. This will allow our 3/16″ diameter high alloy Aluminum rivet body with 1/2″ MEDIUM head size and steel nail to perform as intended.
These Medium Head multi-grip rivets ABS62610M are often used in applications where the holes have either become oval or just too big for standard 3/16″ diameter rivets. When the tool pulls the mandrel or nail, the head of the nail pulls and swells the rivet body in a combined clamping and swelling action. While the setting action occurs it pulls the application materials together from the backside materials to form a tight, pulled together application that won’t come loose too easily due to the 1000 pulling power of this rivet’s nail. Good selection for fastening sheet metal and many other materials.
