Blind rivet GESIPA 6330924 VA A2 5×8 mm for 2–4 mm material thickness

Blind rivet GESIPA 6330924 VA A2 5×8 mm is a blind fastening element designed for single-sided installation where access to the back of the joint is limited. The rivet features a stainless-steel A2 body and a compatible mandrel that creates a reliable permanent joint with a smooth, flush finish on the accessible side. It is sized for a grip range that covers combined material thicknesses from 2 to 4 mm and is intended for use in metal, sheet and composite assemblies where moderate corrosion resistance is required.

Advantages

The stainless-steel A2 body provides corrosion resistance for general indoor and some outdoor applications. Its 5×8 mm dimensions and specified grip range allow consistent setting in thin to medium-thickness materials. The blind installation method enables fastening where only one side of the workpiece is reachable, producing a tamper-resistant, permanent connection with a neat appearance on the visible side.

Suitable for

• Joining metal sheets and panels with combined thickness of 2–4 mm
• Fixing trim, brackets and fittings in automotive and light fabrication
• Assembly of composite panels and sandwich materials
• Repair and maintenance tasks requiring single-sided access

Key specifications

• Material of body: stainless steel (A2)
• Rivet diameter: 5 mm
• Overall length: 8 mm
• Suitable combined material thickness (grip range): 2–4 mm
• Type: blind (single-sided) rivet
• Finish on accessible side: smooth/flush

How to use

Drill a hole of the appropriate diameter through the joined parts, insert the rivet into the assembled workpieces, and use a blind rivet tool to pull the mandrel until the rivet body deforms and forms a secure blind head. Continue setting until the mandrel breaks away, leaving a permanent joint. Ensure hole alignment and correct rivet diameter for a secure fit and consistent deformation. Use protective equipment and follow tool instructions when installing rivets.

Usage recommendations

For best results, select a drill bit that matches the 5 mm rivet diameter and verify that the combined material thickness falls within the 2–4 mm range. When fastening corrosive environments or dissimilar metals, consider electrical isolation or alternative materials. Use a hand or pneumatic rivet tool rated for 5 mm rivets and inspect each installed rivet for proper deformation and secure seating.
