Product Description
Aluminium Sealing Blind Rivets with Neoprene Washers
Aluminium blind rivets with aluminium mandrels, dome heads and neoprene sealing washers. Designed for panel assemblies requiring a spread fixing on the blind side and a sealing washer beneath the head.
The expanding blind-side formation distributes the clamping load over a wider area, making this rivet style useful when joining rigid panels to softer or more fragile materials. Installation is carried out from one side using suitable riveting equipment.

These are the current listing’s guide dimensions. Confirm the exact rivet specification, grip range and recommended hole diameter before preparing the workpiece.
Understanding Grip Range
The grip range is the combined thickness of the materials being joined. Measure the complete panel stack and choose a rivet whose specified grip range includes that thickness. Rivet length alone does not identify the correct fixing.
Key Features
- Aluminium body and aluminium mandrel.
- Neoprene washer helps seal beneath the rivet head.
- Expanding blind-side formation spreads the clamping load.
- Suitable for compatible soft or fragile panel materials.
- Installation from one side of the assembly.
Typical Applications
Suitable for compatible panel joints in caravans, trailers, vehicle bodywork and general fabrication where load distribution and sealing are required.
Installation
Use a riveting tool and nosepiece suitable for the specific rivet and mandrel. Prepare the hole to the confirmed specification, remove burrs and seat the sealing washer correctly before setting. Allow sufficient clearance behind the panel for the rivet to expand.
Ordering
Select the required diameter, length and pack quantity from the available options. Check the combined material thickness against the grip range before ordering.
