Open-end POP rivets, when set, resemble conventional tubular rivets. However unlike tubular rivets, the mandrel head is retained within the body of the POP® Open-End Rivet. Providing strong, low cost fastenings, open-end rivets are ideal for a wide variety of applications. They are available in a wide variety of materials and combinations with dome, countersunk, or large-flange head styles. A universally accepted range of rivets suitable for most industrial riveting applications where the materials to be fastened do not have high load bearing requirements.

The 'POP®' Open type blind POP rivet is a hollow rivet pre-assembled on to a headed pin or mandrel. Rivet bodies are available in a range of materials for complete workpiece compatibility. The rivets are available in pure aluminium, aluminium 2.5%, 3.5% and 5.0% magnesium alloy, copper, mild steel, nickel-copper alloy, and stainless steel and are normally supplied with Break Stem mandrels which promote retention of the head of the mandrel in the set rivet body.
