Blind rivets, also called "pop rivets", can be used when access to through-bolt isn’t possible. AVDEL® N (*) protruding head nail rivets by ELCO CONSTRUCTION PRODUCTS are suitable for metal to metal applications.Their body/mandrel is made from different materials: Aluminum/Aluminum, Steel/Steel, Aluminum/Steel or Stainless Steel/Stainless Steel. Aluminum and  18-8 Stainless Steel rivets for high strength and corrosion resistance, are widely used for marine applications such  as non-critical equipment installations on masts, radar towers and other structures with limited or no access to secure washers and nuts. They are ideal for installing deck lights, bimini frame brackets and much more. Rivets are available in a range of diameters and gripping lengths to match the needs of a variety of projects. Installation requires special tool with appropriate die to match mandrel diameter. Contact of dissimilar metals, like for example use of stainless steel rivets to install hardware on to the aluminum spars of a sailboat, should be avoided to guard against galvanic corrosion occurence. If the superior strength of stainless steel rivets is not required, the use of aluminum blind rivets should be considered for non-critical installations. Aluminum rivets can also be used below the waterline together with marine epoxy or Gluvit sealant for waterproofness. AVDEL® N rivets are sold in convenient packs. The number of pieces per pack is specified after the letters "PK" in the product reference number (SKU).

Solid shank rivets are relatively low-cost,  permanently installed fasteners used as structural parts in aircraft and other applications where reliability and safety consist a priority.  These rivets are produced in accordance with military and other international standards such as US Army-Navy (AN) standard and Mil-Spec (MS) that followed. AN426/MS20426 and AN470/MS20470 Series rivets are solid aluminum rivets with countersunk head or universal head respectively. Sourced from quality suppliers they are offered as part of our own labelled (AVIATIONEU NEW ERA) product lines. They are  available in different diameters and lengths and sold by the pound (lb). Those designated by the letter "A" in their part numbers are "soft" rivets fabricated from 1100-grade aluminum with a tensile strength of 16,000 PSI while rivets designated by the letters "AD" are fabricated from 2117 aluminum and heat treated to the T4 condition. They have a shear strength of 26,000 PSI and a tensile strength of 38,000 PSI. For additional information please refer to the article on an overview of our fasteners, other supplied documentation, the individual product presentations or contact us.

Blind rivets (also commonly referred to as POP Rivets) are mainly used in applications where there is no access to the rear (blind side) of the joint. Rivets have a two-piece construction, the rivet body, shell, or hat and the stem or mandrel. Both the hat and mandrel are pre-assembled and ready to use. Rivets are installed by using a riveting tool to draw the mandrel which causes the body to deform and clamp down on the joint. Upon reaching the designed clamping force, the mandrel snaps and is discarded. A benefit of blind rivets is that they are not material specific and therefore they can be used to combine two different material types together. Furthermore, there is no way to over or under-torque a rivet. If the appropriate diameter and grip range are chosen correctly, the rivet will be installed perfectly every time.

Sourced by quality suppliers, blind rivets, offered as part of our own labelled (AVIATIONEU NEW ERA) product lines, come in different materials, sizes, military or industrial standards and packing options to meet different application requirements. They are intended for use in a wide range of applications including  aircrafts, ships, submersibles, RVs, trailers,  machinery, small electronics, structural beams and others. Please refer to the individual product presentations to find the rivet which best suits your needs.

Delivering high strength controlled preloaded system, the HI-LOK rivet pins by HI-SHEAR CORPORATION, subsidiary of LISI AEROSPACE, are the original and versatile solution for strong and reliable assemblies. These rivet pins are easily installed from one side, by one person, quietly, even is most restricted areas. With a wide range of shapes, materials and coatings, they are suited for most of structural assemblies and are still commonly used in the aerospace industry. They can also be replaced by equivalent HI-LITE rivet pins, the direct evolution of HI-LOK series, for improved weight saving. The latter can be used for clearance, or low interference fit throughout aircraft, from wings to fuselage, in engine fairings, and more. Combined with HI-LITE nuts and collars, they provide up to 13% weight saving compared to the previous HI-LOK generation. Both HI-LOK and HI-LITE rivet pins are also available with ASTER improved recess (HSTR pins) that prevents failure during the assembly process,  especially suited for clearance fit assemblies of composite structures.
