Description

The N Rivet rivet is a basic, non-structural breakstem rivet. Due to the minimal design features the application hole size and thickness must fall within the specified ranges to ensure proper installation and performance of the N Rivet. However, it's also the minimal processing and design of the N Rivet that make it applicable to a wide range of applications. Additionally, the basic design results in substantial installed costs savings when N Rivet fasteners are used. It's available in a variety of materials and combinations with low profile, large flange or countersunk head styles.

The N Rivet relies on a unique mandrel head design to complete the application joint and ensure positive stem retention after installation. During the manufacturing process, the round mandrel head is flattened on two sides. Then during rivet installation, the rivet body folds around these two contours as the mandrel travels through the rivet body. The result is an oblong shape in the tail of the rivet body. This oblong shape encapsulates the mandrel head and prevents the mandrel from falling out or rattling free during the life cycle of the application.

Advantages
