Briv Rivet

A blind rivet with a countersunk head sets flush with the surface after installation. It leaves a smooth face on the accessible side.

A Briv rivet joins thin sheets and panels from one side. It sets with a rivet tool, and the mandrel often breaks off and remains in the body. A countersunk head sits flush with the top sheet for a smooth surface.

This kind of rivet is often made in aluminium, which suits light assemblies and gives good corrosion resistance. It is not intended for high load structural joints.

This is a general guide to checking this kind of part. It says nothing about any supplier's parts.

Ask for a certificate of conformance and a dimensional check report. On receipt, confirm the head angle matches the hole, and inspect for burrs or damage on the head.
