Closed-End Stainless Steel Blind Rivets, Dome-Head Sealed Pop Rivets for Indoor and Outdoor Applications

Closed-End Stainless Steel Blind Rivets

These dome-head blind rivets feature a stainless steel rivet body and stainless steel mandrel. Their closed-end construction is designed for applications where limiting the passage of moisture, air, dust, and other contaminants through the rivet body is important.

• All-Stainless-Steel Construction: The stainless steel body and mandrel provide high mechanical strength, durability, and corrosion resistance for long-term indoor and outdoor use.
• Closed-End Sealing Design: Unlike standard open-end blind rivets, the closed rivet body helps create a more effectively sealed fastening point when the correct hole size, grip range, and installation method are used.
• Dome-Head Profile: The dome head provides a clean finished appearance and distributes the clamping load over the surrounding material.
• One-Sided Installation: These blind rivets can be installed when only one side of the workpiece is accessible.
• Available Sizes: Select from 3/16" × 3/8" (4.8 × 10 mm), 3/16" × 1/2" (4.8 × 12 mm), and 3/16" × 5/8" (4.8 × 16 mm).
• Pack Options: Available in 100-piece and 1,000-piece quantities. Please select the required size and package before ordering.

Installation

1. Confirm the combined material thickness is within the selected rivet's grip range.
2. Drill or prepare a clean, correctly sized hole through the materials being joined.
3. Insert the rivet body fully through the aligned holes.
4. Use a compatible blind-rivet tool and nosepiece to pull the mandrel until it breaks at its designed point.
5. Inspect the installed rivet to confirm proper clamping and seating.

Suggested Applications

Suitable for sheet-metal assemblies, equipment panels, enclosures, ductwork, repair projects, outdoor fixtures, furniture, and other applications requiring a durable closed-end blind fastener.

Important Compatibility Information

Sealing performance depends on the prepared hole, selected grip range, installation quality, joint design, and condition of the mating surfaces. For prolonged water exposure, pressurized systems, structural joints, transportation equipment, or other safety-critical applications, the completed joint should be tested and approved by a qualified engineer before use.
