Solid rivets for structural joints

These solid rivets consist of a shaft and head designed for permanent mechanical fastening. They are deformed with a hammer, rivet gun or compression tool to create a secure joint. The fasteners suit applications where reliability and safety are primary requirements.

Deformed installation resists vibration

Once set, the rivet shank expands to fill the hole and the head locks the assembly against shear and tensile loads. The joint does not rely on threads or friction, so it will not loosen under sustained vibration or cyclic loading. A rivet gun or crimping tool is required to complete the installation.

Replaces threaded fasteners in permanent assemblies

Use these rivets instead of bolts or screws when the joint must remain intact for the service life of the structure. The step up is justified when disassembly is not needed and a tamper-proof, high-shear connection is specified. Not suited for temporary fixtures or applications requiring frequent removal.

Questions about this item

Does the 3/8 in length rivet generate any noise, heat or power draw when installed and left in place all day?

No. The solid rivet is a passive metal fastener with no moving parts, electronics or power requirement, so it produces no noise, heat or power draw once installed.

What tools must I already own to deform the .47 in diameter shank of this 62202 rivet?

You need a hammer, rivet gun or rivet compression tool capable of reaching the joint; the supplier notes a crimping tool is limited by its frame depth for edge rivets.

Will this countersunk head rivet sit flush in older structural panels drilled for the same .47 in diameter?

Yes. The countersunk head is designed to sit flush in a matching countersunk hole, so it will work with existing panels prepared for a .47 in diameter solid rivet.
