Product Description
3mm Aluminium and Steel Blind Pop Rivets
These 3mm standard blind pop rivets feature a lightweight aluminium body and a zinc-plated steel break mandrel. They provide a quick and permanent fastening method for sheet metal, panels and other thin materials where access is available from only one side of the assembly.
The standard dome head—described as a protruding head in ISO terminology—provides a neat appearance and distributes the clamping load across the surrounding material. The aluminium body offers good general corrosion resistance, while the steel mandrel provides the strength needed to install the rivet securely.
Key Features
- Nominal rivet diameter: 3mm
- Available lengths: 6mm, 8mm, 10mm and 12mm
- Body material: aluminium alloy
- Mandrel material: zinc-plated steel
- Head style: standard dome or protruding head
- Open-end blind-rivet construction
- Suitable for installation from one side of the workpiece
- Available individually or in bulk pack quantities
Select a rivet whose grip range includes the total combined thickness of the materials being joined. Prepare a clean 3.1mm installation hole and use a riveting tool fitted with a nosepiece suitable for 3mm blind rivets.
Typical Applications
- Sheet-metal fabrication
- Automotive panels and trim
- Signs, brackets and equipment housings
- Ventilation and lightweight ducting
- General maintenance and repairs
- Light engineering and DIY projects
Applicable Standards
ISO 15977 and its identical British adoption, BS EN ISO 15977, cover open-end blind rivets with break-pull mandrels, protruding heads, aluminium alloy bodies and steel mandrels in nominal diameters from 2.4mm up to and including 6.4mm.
DIN 7337 is the related withdrawn legacy standard for break-mandrel blind rivets. It has been replaced by material- and head-specific EN ISO standards, with DIN EN ISO 15977 applying to this aluminium-body and steel-mandrel combination.
Compliance with these standards should only be stated where the product's dimensions, materials, tolerances and mechanical properties have been verified against the relevant standard.
Please note that specifications are provided as a guide. Check all critical dimensions, grip requirements and material compatibility before ordering.
