Blind Riveting Systems
POP is the world acknowledged leader in
blind rivet fastening technology, and POP
rivet tools are the state-of-the-art in
design, performance and durability. In
addition to being the industry’s original
manufacturer and pioneer, POP is con-
stantly updating and improving its com-
plete product line to keep pace with
rapidly advancing automotive markets and
the increasing needs of today’s automotive
service professionals.
POP rivets are more effective and practical
than other fastening methods such as
welding, sheet metal screws, nuts and
bolts, solid rivets and adhesives. They are
ideal for repairs where access is limited to
one side only. No surface preparation is
required. The job can be done with no
special skills. Almost any material can be
fastened with POP rivets, especially plas-
tics and sheet metal. The results are uni-
form and vibration proof.
Automotive repair, shop use
POP rivets provide an effective, high
s
trength fastening technique. They’re
ideal for structural repairs, body and
collision work, modifications, parts
and accessory mounting and countless
in-shop and miscellaneous applications.
The use of rivets in automotive assembly
has increased significantly because of
their strength and ease of use.
Choose power or manual
POP’s rivet fastening system is one of the
most versatile you can buy. It requires
minimal capital investment and inventory.
The rivets can be installed manually or by
power tools. They’re designed for simple
operation and ease of use.
Wide application range
POP offers a complete range of rivets
to meet almost every automotive,
marine, small engine, hardware and shop
application. POP rivets are available in
various materials, types, sizes and styles
for all types of fastening from plastics
to dissimilar metals to pressure tight
sealing.
Installation
POP rivets consist of two parts:
(A) rivet body and (B) setting mandrel.
In operation, the mandrel is pulled back
to expand the rivet body and form a tight
vibration-free fastener. The mandrel
breaks off automatically after the
rivet is set.
1. After selecting the proper rivet,
drill a hole corresponding to the
diameter of the rivet through the
materials to be fastened. When using
counter-sunk head rivets a 120º
countersunk bit is required. Use
POP Part No. 60928 for countersink
drilling.
2. Open the handle of the rivet tool and
insert the rivet mandrel in the nose-
piece of the tool.
3. Place the rivet body in the
pre-drilled hole. Then squeeze
the rivet tool handles until the
rivet mandrel breaks off.
Rivet Materials
In order to meet a variety of requirements
for strength, corrosion and rust considerations
and application materials, POP rivets are
offered in specific materials and material
combinations.
TYPE APPLICATION
All Steel High strength: Use with steel
Aluminum Lightweight: Use with alu-
minum, areas susceptible to
rust & corrosion
Alum./Steel Combines features of both
materials
All Stainless Very high strength: Use with
stainless & steel. Prevents cor-
rosion or rust.
Stainless/Steel Very high strength.
Applications where corro-
sion resistance is
not a major factor.
Copper Electrical conductivity
TYPES & STYLES
Rivet Types
There are three basic rivet types available for
automotive use.
Open End
Designed for a wide
range of applications,
they resemble con-
ventional tubular riv-
ets when set, but
retain the mandrel within the rivet body
for added strength. Open end rivets are
available in a variety of materials in dome,
countersunk or large flange head styles.
Closed End
Specially configured with a cup shaped end
that forms a tight seal, POP closed end rivets
are much stronger
than open end riv-
ets. They are avail-
able in dome and
countersunk head
styles.
T-Rivets
Made for structural
and high stress ap-
plications. They fea-
ture a hardened
steel mandrel which splits the rivet body into
a trifurcated shape. This provides high
clamping strength even in thin or fragile ma-
terial.
Head Styles
Dome Head
Low profile design
and neat appearance,
this style is very versa-
tile and most commonly used. The head size
is twice the diameter of the rivet body. It
provides enough bearing surface for all ap-
plications except soft or brittle material.
Large Flange
Features twice the
under-head bearing
surface as the dome
style. It’s ideal for
fastening soft or brittle materials to a rigid
backing surface.
Countersunk
Designed with a
120º head profile
for flush surface mounting applications.
