Rivets HOGERT HT2C170 — aluminium blind rivets 4.8×15 mm, pack of 50

Aluminium blind rivets HOGERT HT2C170, size 4.8×15 mm, pack of 50, are designed for creating permanent mechanical joints where access is possible from only one side. The rivets feature a corrosion-resistant aluminium body and mandrel suitable for fastening thin metal sheets, brackets, panels and other similar materials. Supplied in a practical pack of 50, these blind rivets are intended for use with a standard hand or pneumatic rivet gun to deliver repeatable, secure connections in metalwork, automotive repair, HVAC installations and general DIY tasks.

Advantages

The aluminium construction offers a favourable strength-to-weight ratio and natural corrosion resistance, making these rivets suitable for interior and some exterior applications where dissimilar-metal contact is acceptable. Their 4.8 mm diameter and 15 mm length provide a reliable grip range for typical sheet thicknesses, and the packaged quantity of 50 supports multiple small projects or maintenance tasks. Installation with a common rivet gun ensures a quick, permanent joint with minimal preparation.

Suitable for

• Joining thin metal sheets and brackets
• Automotive bodywork repairs and panels
• HVAC ductwork assembly and fastening
• Furniture assembly and light structural connections
• General DIY and maintenance projects

Key specifications

• Material: aluminium body and mandrel
• Rivet type: blind (pop) rivet for single-side access
• Nominal diameter: 4.8 mm
• Length: 15 mm
• Pack quantity: 50 pieces
• Corrosion resistance: inherent to aluminium

How to use

Select a rivet size appropriate for the combined thickness of the materials to be joined and drill a matching 4.8 mm hole. Insert the rivet through the aligned parts, place the mandrel into the rivet gun nosepiece, and compress the gun until the mandrel snaps, forming the blind head and securing the joint. Remove the spent mandrel and inspect the formed blind head for a tight fit. For best results, use a rivet gun with a nosepiece matched to the rivet diameter and ensure material surfaces are clean and free of debris prior to installation.

Usage recommendations

Use these aluminium blind rivets where aluminium-to-aluminium or aluminium-to-steel connections are acceptable; avoid prolonged exposure to corrosive environments without appropriate protection. Match rivet length to material stack-up and use personal protective equipment such as eye protection when operating a rivet gun. For applications requiring higher shear or tensile strength, consider alternative rivet materials and consult technical data for load capacities.
