BENEFITS
 

  • Removable: Combines the speed of rivet placement with the removability of a screw. Easily removed with a standard hex key, Rivscrew® is often used in place of tapping screws and nut, screw, and washer assemblies.
  • Self-Locking Thread: Tool activation controls fastener expansion, at the same time forming a locked thread in the host material.
  • Vibration Resistant: Thread locking feature creates vibration resistant joint.
  • Multiple Diameters and Lengths: Available in multiple diameters, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, and 4.8 millimeter, to facilitate use in standard hole sizes. Available in standard lengths from .157 to .553. Special longer lengths are also available.
