Dome Head Blind Rivet

A dome head blind rivet is a fastener that joins two parts from one side. It has a rounded head and is set with a rivet tool.

A dome head blind rivet joins two or more parts from one side when the back is closed off. It is set with a rivet gun, which pulls the mandrel and forms a tail on the far side. The dome head spreads the load on the front face and suits sheet metal and light assemblies.

This kind of rivet is often made in aluminium, stainless steel, stainless steel 304, or steel. Aluminium is light and resists corrosion. Stainless steel grades resist rust in damp or outdoor conditions.

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 if you need proof of material or dimensions. On receipt, check the rivet diameter, head shape, and mandrel. Set a few rivets in a test piece to check the grip.
