Benefits

  • Visible Lock: When using the prescribed nosetip, the rivet stem and body are physically and visibly locked. This allows inspection of the lock, ensuring a quality fastened joint. Good vibration resistance.
  • Grip Tolerant: Will fasten materials over a wide range of sheet thicknesses.
  • Sealing Capability: With the use of an optional rubber washer, this fastener can be made to effect a weather-resistant seal.
  • Hole Preparation: The three legs of the Klamptite rivet provide a large blind-side bearing surface over which to distribute loads.

NOTE: The structural Klamptite® rivet must always be installed using nosetip number 743C53 or 743C51 for 3/16" and 1/4" diameters, respectively. The pulling head of the installation tool should incorporate a 3-jaw system.

NOTES:

  1. Items listed on these pages reflect our manufacturing capability.
  2. Finishes: aluminum stems, and rivets are coated with a wax lubricant.
  3. Weather resistance can be obtained by specifying a synthetic rubber washer under protruding head fasteners (i.e.. BAPKTR-6W6)

Non-Structural

Provides good vibration resistance. Exceptional clamp-up strength. Wide grip range.

Benefits:

  • Grip Tolerant: Will fasten materials over a wide range of sheet thicknesses.
  • Hole Preparation: The three legs of the Klamptite rivet provide a large blind-side bearing surface over which to distribute loads.
  • No Special Nose tip: No special nose tip required for non-structural Klamptite.
