Dome
Head Rivet
With its neat appearance and low profile, this
is the most versatile and most commonly
specified head style. The dome head has twice
the diameter of the rivet body, providing enough
bearing surface to retain all but extremely soft
or brittle materials. Available in a very wide
range of materials.
Large Flange Rivet
Large Flange POP brand rivets have twice the
under-head bearing surfaces of comparable dome
head rivets and are designed for applications
where soft or brittle materials must be
assembled to a rigid backing material.
Countersunk Rivet
This head design is specified wherever a flush
surface is required. Available in a variety of
sizes and materials. |

Applications
The low-profile dome head is appropriate for
most applications. However, when soft or brittle
materials are fastened to a rigid backing
member, the large flange head should be
considered, because it offers twice the bearing.
surface. Where a flush surface is required, the
countersunk head style should be selected. |
