DEDRA 11Y502 rivet

Aluminum blind rivets 4.8×10 mm, pack of 50 by Dedra are designed for permanent blind fastening where access is available only from one side. These rivets form a secure, corrosion-resistant joint in thin metal sheets, plastics and composite panels. The lightweight aluminum body and domed head provide a neat finish while keeping overall assembly weight low. Compatible with manual and pneumatic rivet guns, this pack contains fifty rivets sized 4.8 mm in diameter and 10 mm in grip length, suited to common repair, assembly and fabrication tasks.

Advantages

These aluminum blind rivets combine corrosion resistance with low weight, making them suitable for applications exposed to moisture or where reduced mass is important. Their blind installation capability allows fastening where only one side of the assembly is accessible. The uniform head shape provides a consistent appearance and distributes load across the joined materials. Supplied in a 50-piece pack, they are convenient for small to medium projects and maintenance tasks.

Suitable for

• Joining thin metal sheets and panels
• Repairing automotive bodywork and trim
• Fastening plastic components and housings
• General metalwork, fabrication and DIY projects
• Applications requiring blind-side installation

How to use

Drill a hole matching the rivet diameter through the joined materials, align the parts and insert the rivet body from the accessible side. Place the rivet mandrel into the rivet gun, seat the rivet head against the workpiece and operate the tool until the mandrel snaps, forming the blind-side bulge that secures the connection. Verify the joint is tight and the head sits flush; cut or file any protruding mandrel remnants if necessary. Use the correct nosepiece on the rivet gun for the 4.8 mm diameter to ensure reliable installation.

Usage recommendations

Choose rivets with a grip length appropriate to the combined thickness of the materials being joined. For best corrosion performance in outdoor or marine-adjacent environments, consider using rivets and materials with compatible corrosion properties or apply protective coatings. Ensure the rivet gun is maintained and fitted with the correct nosepiece for 4.8 mm rivets to prevent installation failures.
