STEEL PULL THRU RIVETS

Pull-Thru rivet is a steel countersunk blind fastener designed to set surface flush on both sides of an application (blind side rivet protrusion #0.4mm/.015"). During setting, the mandrel head never breaks away from the mandrel. It remains integral with the mandrel, while extruding completely through the rivet body and exiting into the setting tool. This unique process provides a consistent tight radial set within the working grip range of the rivet, improves rivet tool access and eliminates the possibility of loose mandrel heads in the application. This innovative fastener is widely used in the electronics industry. It also lends itself to assembly of any product where clearance is limited and protrusion of the rivet body from application surfaces must be either minimized or eliminated. The mandrels of the Pull-Thru rivets have been color coded for easy differentiation on the production floor.

The Pull-Thru (PT) rivet is a steel countersunk blind rivet designed to set surface flush on both sides of an application (blind side protrusion < 0.4mm/0.015").

The Pull-Thru rivet is best used in the assembly of any product where clearance is extremely limited and protrusion of the rivet body from the application surface must be either minimized or eliminated. As the PT rivet sets, the mandrel head remains integral with the mandrel, assuring no loose mandrel heads in the assembled product. These features and benefits make the PT rivet unique in the marketplace.

Pull-Thru rivets are widely used in the electronics industry where space is at a premium but also lend themselves to many low-clearance industrial applications as well.

Key features and benefits:

• Flush-set on both sides for double countersunk materials
