FASCO FASTENER 4906AClick To Copy Stainless Steel Blind Rivets Bulk Pack for 6-12 X 3/16" D X 3/4" L, 50-Pack

Can t access the backside to through-bolt? No problem, use a rivet. Blind rivets, also called "pop rivets" are widely used for non-critical equipment installations on masts and other structures with limited or no access to secure washers and nuts. They are ideal for installing deck lights, bimini frame brackets and much more. These rivets are constructed using 18-8 stainless steel for strength and corrosion resistance and are available in commonly used diameters and grips to match the needs of a variety of projects. Installation requires special tool with appropriate die to match mandrel diameter. NOTE: When dissimilar metals make contact, damage due to galvanic corrosion can occur. An example of this is where stainless steel screws or blind rivets are used to install hardware on to the aluminum spars of a sailboat. For installations like these, one solution is to use aluminum blind rivets for non-critical installations where the superior strength of stainless steel is not required.
