SEALED RIVETS
Commonly known as a ‘sealed’ rivet, this rivet is referred to as a ‘closed end’ rivet.
The use of the sealed rivet is recommended in cases where the passage of liquids through the shims to be joined is to be avoided. It is understandable that given the particular characteristic of the rivet, the precision of the hole and the surface finish is of the utmost importance, and where this is not possible, the insertion of an underhead gasket is recommended. |
