Westfield Fasteners Product Specification:

Dome Head Peel Type Blind Rivets

This product guide contains the specification for dome head peel type blind rivets. These items form part of the Westfield Fasteners range of blind or pop rivet products.

Product Description
Dome head peel type blind rivets are designed to be used with soft or low resistance materials and are ideal for connecting soft materials to harder materials. Use with plastics, rubber, laminates, wood, GRP, plasterboard and sheet metals. As the rivet is compressed to secure the fixing, the body of the rivet splits into 4 and curls down to grip into the surface, giving a wide bearing area.

Blind rivets can be also known as breakstem rivets.
Product Information
Aluminium bodied rivets include a zinc plated steel mandrel. Blind rivets are designed to be fitted with a rivet plier or rivet lever type tool.
