Sealed Rivet

A sealed rivet is a blind rivet with a closed end that provides a seal against liquids and gases. It is used where a leak-proof joint is needed.

A sealed rivet closes the mandrel hole as it sets, so the joint resists water and vapour. It suits outdoor panels, enclosures and ducting where a tight joint is needed. It takes a rivet gun with a nose piece to match the rivet body.

Sealed rivets are often made in stainless steel 304. This material offers good corrosion resistance and strength, making it suitable for outdoor and wet environments.

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 to confirm the rivets meet the ordered specification. On receipt, check the seal for damage and verify the dimensions and material against the order.
