Overview:

Pack of 150 Fixman 4.8mm - 18mm Flanged Large Head Blind Pop Rivets designed for strong, permanent fastening where a wider bearing surface is needed to spread load and help prevent pull-through. The large flanged head makes them especially useful on softer or thinner materials such as plastics, sheet metal and composite panels, while the 18mm length supports thicker material stacks. Manufactured with an aluminium body and steel mandrel, these rivets offer reliable setting and corrosion-resistant performance for workshop, trade and light outdoor applications. Supplied in a 150 pack for repeat jobs, repairs and fabrication work.

Fixman 4.8mm x 18mm Flanged Large Head Blind Pop Rivets – Key FAQs

• What drill size should I use for 4.8mm pop rivets?
  Use a drill bit that matches the rivet diameter for a snug fit. Clean, accurately drilled holes help the rivet set correctly and improve joint strength.

• Why choose a flanged large head rivet?
  The larger head spreads the load over a wider area, helping prevent pull-through and reducing the risk of damage on softer or thinner materials like plastic.

• What grip range do these 4.8mm x 18mm rivets cover?
  They’re designed for a combined material thickness of approximately 11.5mm to 13.5mm, depending on the materials and hole quality.

• Can these be installed from one side only?
  Yes. These are blind rivets, ideal for panels, ducting and enclosures where rear access isn’t possible.

• Are these rivets suitable for plastic panels?
  Yes. The large flanged head provides extra bearing support, making them a good choice for plastics, composites and similar softer materials.

• Are pop rivets reusable once installed?
  No. Pop rivets are permanent, single-use fixings. If removal is needed, they are typically drilled out.

• Can I use them with a standard rivet gun?
  Yes. They’re compatible with most standard 4.8mm hand riveters and pneumatic rivet tools used for faster installation.

• Are they suitable for outdoor use?
  They offer good general corrosion resistance for light outdoor applications. For harsh or marine environments, consider stainless rivets matched to your materials and exposure.
