DEDRA 11Y403 rivet

Nails Dedra 4.0 x 12.5 mm, aluminium, pack of 50 are lightweight fastening nails made from aluminium for applications that require corrosion resistance and low magnetic interference. Each pack contains 50 nails sized 4.0 mm in diameter and 12.5 mm in length, intended for light-duty fixing of thin metal sheets, trims, signs and similar materials. Their aluminium construction reduces the risk of rust and is suitable for use in damp or outdoor conditions when heavy structural strength is not required.

Advantages

Aluminium composition offers good resistance to corrosion and prevents staining on some surfaces compared with ferrous nails. The small 12.5 mm length combined with a 4.0 mm diameter provides an unobtrusive fixing that is appropriate for thin materials and trim. Low magnetic properties make these nails suitable where magnetic interference should be minimised. Supplied in a pack of 50, they provide an economical quantity for small jobs and repair tasks.

Suitable for

• Fixing thin metal sheets and aluminium panels
• Attaching trim, mouldings and lightweight fixtures
• Mounting small signs and labels
• Craft and hobby projects requiring non-magnetic fasteners
• General household repairs in humid or outdoor environments

Key specifications

• Material: aluminium
• Diameter: 4.0 mm
• Length: 12.5 mm
• Quantity: 50 pieces per pack
• Corrosion resistance: suitable for damp and outdoor use (light-duty)
• Magnetic properties: non-ferrous, low magnetic interference

How to use

Use these aluminium nails with a manual hammer or a lightweight tack hammer for controlled installation. Position the nail point against the material to be fixed and tap steadily until the head is flush with or slightly recessed into the surface, taking care not to deform thin materials. For very thin sheets, consider pre-drilling a small pilot hole to prevent splitting or bending. After installation, check that the fixings hold securely and replace any nails that show deformation or insufficient grip.

Usage recommendations

For outdoor projects in exposed locations, combine aluminium nails with compatible aluminium or non-ferrous substrates to minimise galvanic corrosion. Avoid using these nails for heavy structural loads; choose stronger fasteners for load-bearing applications. Store packs in a dry place to preserve condition prior to use.
