Overview:

Fixman 4.8mm x 25mm Flanged Large Head Blind Pop Rivets built for strong, reliable fastening where you need extra surface support on the top sheet. The wide flanged head helps spread the load to reduce pull-through, making these rivets ideal for softer materials such as plastics, thin sheet metal and composite panels, as well as thicker stacked joints. With an aluminium rivet body and a steel mandrel, they deliver dependable clamping strength and a tidy finish, all from one-sided (blind) installation. Supplied as a 150 pack, they’re a practical choice for workshops, site work and high-volume trade applications.

Fixman Flanged Large Head Blind Pop Rivets 4.8mm x 25mm – Key FAQs

• What drill size should I use for 4.8mm pop rivets?
  Use a suitable drill bit that matches the rivet size for a clean fit. For best results, drill neatly and remove burrs before setting the rivet.

• What is the benefit of a flanged large head rivet?
  The larger head spreads the load over a wider area, helping prevent pull-through and improving stability on softer or thinner materials like plastic or sheet metal.

• What grip range do these rivets cover?
  These 4.8mm x 25mm rivets are designed for thicker stacks, with an approximate grip range of 16.5mm to 20.5mm depending on the materials being joined.

• Are these rivets suitable for plastic and composite panels?
  Yes. The flanged head is ideal for plastics and composites where extra surface support helps reduce cracking and pull-through under load.

• Can I install these with a manual rivet gun?
  Yes. They’re compatible with most standard 4.8mm hand riveters, and can also be used with pneumatic rivet tools for faster, high-volume work.

• Are pop rivets reusable once installed?
  No. Blind rivets are permanent fasteners. Removal usually requires drilling out the rivet body if you need to dismantle the joint.

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

• Do the rivets include mandrels?
  Yes. Each rivet is supplied with its steel mandrel pre-fitted for quick installation.
