Bulbing Rivets

Features of Bulb Tite Rivets

Bulb tite rivets offer larger grip ranges than standard blind rivets with similarities to the traditional "Multi-Grip" style ranges and the added benefit of filling slightly oversized or irregular holes (reduced vibration). They are popular fasteners with brittle materials because the broad secondary head on the blind side resists pulling through or cracking.

The wider than normal grip range provides the capability to join parts having a broad range of thicknesses, thus reducing inventory where a variety of rivet sizes might otherwise be necessary. The sizeable blind side footprint creates a load bearing surface which absorbs the force of setting the rivet.

Bulb Tite Rivets Assembly and Applications

The design and fashion in which the bulb tite rivet body collapses prevents any radial expansion of the rivet into the application hole - another safeguard against damage to the application material.
