Blind rivet GESIPA 6330932 VA A2 5x10 mm for 4–6 mm material thickness

Blind rivet GESIPA 6330932 VA A2 5x10 mm is a stainless steel A2 blind rivet engineered for joining two components with a combined material thickness of 4–6 mm. It is intended for blind or one-sided fastening where access to the rear of the joint is restricted. The rivet features a 5 mm shank diameter and a 10 mm grip length, providing a compact, corrosion-resistant fastener suitable for metalwork, light construction and repair applications. It is compatible with standard blind rivet tools designed for 5 mm rivets.

Advantages

The stainless steel A2 construction provides good corrosion resistance in typical indoor and moderate outdoor environments. Its blind-installation design allows secure fastening from one side, simplifying assembly where the opposite side is inaccessible. The rivet’s dimensions (5 mm shank, 10 mm grip) are suited to creating compact joints while maintaining reliable clamping force across the specified material thickness range.

Suitable for

• Joining sheet metal panels and profiles with a combined thickness of 4–6 mm
• One-sided installations in repair and maintenance work
• Light structural fastening in construction elements and enclosures
• Applications requiring corrosion resistance in non-aggressive environments

Key specifications

• Material: stainless steel A2 (corrosion-resistant grade)
• Shank diameter: 5 mm
• Grip (effective) length: 10 mm
• Suitable total material thickness: 4–6 mm
• Installation type: blind (one-sided) riveting

How to use

Drill a correctly sized hole through the materials to be joined (recommended diameter compatible with a 5 mm shank). Insert the rivet into the hole so the rivet head sits flush against the accessible surface. Use a blind rivet tool set up for 5 mm rivets to pull the mandrel until the blind head forms and clamps the materials together. After installation, the mandrel will break off, leaving a finished joint. Ensure the tool and rivet sizes match and that the combined material thickness falls within the 4–6 mm range for secure fastening.

Usage recommendations

For optimal corrosion resistance, avoid exposure to highly aggressive chemicals and chloride-rich environments; select a higher-grade stainless steel if required. Verify hole diameter and tool compatibility before starting work. For critical or load-bearing joints, perform a sample installation and inspect the formed blind head and clamp before proceeding with series work.
