Fixman Domed Head Blind Pop Rivet 3.2mm x 6mm – Key FAQs

• What materials are these 3.2mm x 6mm pop rivets suitable for?
  They’re ideal for thin sheet metal and lightweight materials such as plastics and similar panels where you want a fast, permanent fixing.

• What drill bit size should I use?
  Use a drill bit that matches the rivet diameter for a snug fit. A clean, accurately sized hole helps the rivet set correctly and improves joint strength.

• What grip range do these rivets cover?
  They’re designed for thin material stacks, with an approximate grip range of 1.5mm to 3mm depending on the materials being joined.

• Can these rivets be installed from one side only?
  Yes. They’re blind rivets, so they’re specifically designed for situations where you can’t access the rear of the workpiece.

• Are these rivets reusable?
  No. Pop rivets are permanent, single-use fixings. If removal is needed, the rivet is typically drilled out.

• Are they watertight once installed?
  Not by default. If you need a waterproof seal, use a suitable sealant or sealing washer system alongside the rivet.

• Can I use a manual rivet gun to fit them?
  Yes. They’re compatible with most standard 3.2mm hand riveters, and also work with pneumatic rivet tools for faster installation.

• Is the domed head flush with the surface?
  It sits slightly proud, giving a neat domed finish rather than a fully flush countersunk finish.
