Ruwag Blind Rivet 4.8x12mm (25) includes 25 rivets sized 4.8x12mm, suitable for assembly and fastening tasks requiring blind rivets

Ruwag Blind Rivet 4.8x12mm (25) is a set of 25 new blind rivets designed for securing materials where access is only possible from one side. This type of rivet is typically used in automotive repairs, metal fabrication, and other applications requiring a strong, permanent fastening solution without needing access to the backside of the workpiece.

The dimensions of 4.8x12mm indicate the diameter and length of each rivet, important factors when matching the rivet to the thickness and type of material you intend to fasten. Blind rivets work by expanding behind the surface to hold materials firmly together once installed.

This listing is ideal for buyers who need reliable fastening for sheet metal, plastic, or other materials where traditional bolts or screws are impractical. When choosing this part, compare the size carefully with your existing rivet or the specifications required for your project to ensure compatibility.

  • Quantity: 25 rivets per pack
  • Type: Blind rivet for single-side access fastening
  • Size: 4.8mm diameter, 12mm length

For projects requiring a secure, blind fastening method, this Ruwag Blind Rivet pack offers a practical and sturdy option. If unsure about fitment or compatibility, contacting the sales desk or submitting a request for a specific part is recommended to avoid purchasing errors.

How do I correctly install the Ruwag Blind Rivet 4.8x12mm?
To install this blind rivet, first drill a hole matching the 4.8mm diameter.

Can the Ruwag Blind Rivet 4.8x12mm be used for outdoor applications?
While the product details do not specify corrosion resistance, blind rivets like these are often used in outdoor settings if made from corrosion-resistant materials such as aluminum or stainless steel.

What should I do if the rivet mandrel breaks during installation?
If the mandrel breaks before the rivet is fully set, it usually means the rivet was not installed with enough force or the tool was misused. Stop and remove the broken mandrel carefully, then use a proper rivet gun with sufficient pressure to complete the installation. Avoid forcing the tool at an angle to prevent damage.
