All you need to know about Rivit rivets

Rivets are non-removable fastening systems composed of a mandrel and a body.
They allow joining together two or more separate pieces, even of different materials (for example a metal sheet and a plexiglass panel). They are particularly suitable for surface-treated materials, as they do not cause damage or deformation and can be installed from one side only.

How to choose the right rivet?
The choice depends on a variety of aspects, including:
- the rivet material;
- the head of the body (dome, countersunk, or large);
- the hole diameter;
- the grip range, or the total thickness of the pieces to be joined;
- the dimensions of the rivet;
- the mechanical characteristics of the application (shear and tensile strength);
- the required performance (standard or watertight);
- aesthetics.
