Multi Grip Rivets
Blind multi grip rivets are designed to offer wider grip ranges than standard blind rivets. Multi-Grip means the rivet can join parts having a broad range of thicknesses, thus reducing inventory where a variety of rivet sizes might otherwise be necessary.
Multi grip rivets will accommodate oversized and irregular sized holes. These rivets expand radially, providing complete hole fill. The result is a tighter joint and added weather resistance. In addition, multi-grip rivets offer greater mandrel head retention than standard blind rivets, greater vibration resistance and create a larger blind side head for better support.
Advantages of Multi Grip Rivets
The multi-grip feature is an extension in large part of the excellent bulb tail or bulbing tail formation on the application blind side. Depending on the thickness of the application, the tail of the rivet body will collapse into 1, 2 or 3 bulbs. This not only allows the Multi-Grip rivet to accommodate varying application thicknesses but creates a load bearing surface, which absorbs the force of setting the rivet. These rivets are ideal for use in thin sheet, soft, brittle and low strength materials, as well as resulting in high resistance to pull-out loads.
Some additional advantages: High shear and tensile strength, Stainless steel option provides high corrosion resistance and is ideal or applications requiring elevated temperatures.
