Choosing a truss or dome head rivet
Start with the rivet size and the thickness of the material you are joining. Check the listing for the size code or dimensions and the grip range, and size the hole to suit. A truss or dome head gives a wider, lower bearing surface than a standard head, which suits thin or soft sheet. Open type rivets are the general choice, sealed rivets are for joints where the mandrel hole needs to be closed, and multi-grip rivets cover a wider range of material thickness.
Match the rivet material to the material you are fixing: aluminium for aluminium sheet, steel for steel, and stainless steel where corrosion is a concern. The painted head rivets are listed in 23 colours, so check the colour against your sheet before you order. You need a rivet gun to set them, see our rivet tools.
Always check the data sheet. Confirm the size, grip range, material and finish before you order.
