How To Use Hemlock Rivet?
Installing a hemlock rivet is a simple and extremely fast process which is what gives POP rivets their excellent reputation. Installing them requires only a few simple steps listed below.
- Drill a hole into the materials.
- Choose a place the rivet into the two materials.
- Place the Rivet Installation Tool on the mandrel of the rivet.
- Activate the tool to pull the mandrel towards the surface.
When the mandrel gets tight in the material it will snap off at a predetermined point leaving the hat with a portion of the mandrel stuck inside. A properly sized and installed rivet will hold tightly and strong as a permanent joint in the materials. If the hole was too big the rivet will be loose and spin and if the drilled hole is too small the rivet will not install correctly leaving a bad seal.
