Description

For maximum performance the Q Rivet relies on an internal friction lock between the rivet body and mandrel and a uniquely designed mandrel head. The internal friction lock occurs when locking grooves on the mandrel slide along the inner wall of the rivet body during installation. The locking grooves scrape material from the rivet wall and the loose material accumulates in the grooves. This helps to lock the mandrel in place once the rivet is installed.

The mandrel head is flat on one side, which causes material to gather between the mandrel head and locking grooves and effects a weather tight seal when the rivet is installed properly. The remaining portion of the mandrel head is contoured. The rivet body takes that shape during installation and encapsulates the mandrel to prevent it from falling out during the life cycle of the application.
