Blind POP
Rivets
POP Rivets are 2 piece assemblies consisting of
the POP rivet body and the accompanying setting
mandrel, and are capable of being set from the
front side of the application, access to the
back side or blind side is not necessary. POP
Rivet uniqueness means fastening with limited to
access to one side of the structure. Current POP
rivet applications have expanded to many
additional areas of fastening to decrease labor
expense and to address the ergonomic issues of
solid riveting and nuts and bolts.
How POP Rivets
Work
The POP rivet body is inserted in a hole in
the materials to be joined.
The tool is
actuated and the jaws of the power-operated or
manual or power POP® rivet tools hold the
mandrel of the rivet.
The POP rivet is set
by pulling the mandrel head into the rivet body,
expanding it, and forming a strong, tight,
reliable joint on the back side of the
application (forming the secondary clamp). At a
predetermined setting force, the mandrel breaks
leaving a tightly fastened joint..
