Blind Rivet Dome Head 1/4 in

This new MIDWEST FASTENER blind rivet is a tubular fastener supplied with a central mandrel. It joins parts when access is available from only one side. The assembly is inserted into a pre-drilled hole and a rivet tool draws the mandrel to expand the blind end before it snaps off.

Suited for single-side assembly tasks

Mechanics and fabricators who can reach the joint from one face will find this aluminum rivet practical. It is not intended for applications where solid rivets driven from both sides are required. Buyers needing a different diameter, length or material should select another fastener.

1/4 inch diameter and 1/4 inch length

These two dimensions determine whether the rivet fits the prepared hole and accommodates the total material thickness. Verify both measurements against your drawings before ordering to ensure a correct joint.

Questions about this item

How does the 1/4 inch diameter and 1/4 inch length determine the grip range when the rivet is set?

The 1/4 inch diameter and 1/4 inch length set the maximum material thickness the rivet can clamp; the mandrel pulls the blind end to form a second head, creating a permanent joint from one side.

What tooling standard does this blind rivet require for installation?

A standard hand or pneumatic rivet gun designed for 1/4 inch diameter blind rivets is needed to pull the mandrel and expand the rivet body.

What hole size and material thickness suit the 1/4 inch diameter aluminum dome head?

Drill a 1/4 inch clearance hole through both pieces; the 1/4 inch length rivet works best when the combined material thickness matches the rivet's grip range.
