Rivet fasteners MODECO 4.8×8 mm aluminium 50 pcs MN-41-548

MODECO aluminium blind rivets 4.8×8 mm, pack of 50, are designed for permanent mechanical fastening where access is available only from one side. These rivets form a secure joint between thin metal sheets, plastics and composite panels without the need for a nut on the reverse side. The aluminium construction offers corrosion resistance and low weight, making the rivets suitable for general assembly, repair and maintenance tasks in construction, automotive and DIY applications.

Advantages

Aluminium blind rivets provide a reliable, permanent connection with a neat finished appearance on the visible side. Their lightweight, non-magnetic material resists corrosion in typical indoor and sheltered outdoor conditions. The blind installation method allows fastening in confined spaces or on assembled structures without access to the back of the workpiece, and a consistent deformation process ensures uniform clamping force and repeatable results.

Suitable for

• Joining thin sheet metal panels and aluminium profiles
• Fastening plastic and composite panels
• Automotive interior trim and light repairs
• Construction and metalwork where blind-side access is limited
• DIY projects and appliance assembly where a lightweight, corrosion-resistant fastener is required

Key specifications

• Material: aluminium body and mandrel
• Rivet diameter: 4.8 mm
• Grip / length: 8 mm
• Pack quantity: 50 pieces
• Suitable hole diameter: for 4.8 mm rivets (drill accordingly)
• Installation method: blind rivet (pop rivet) using a hand or pneumatic rivet tool

How to use

Drill a hole through the workpieces matching the rivet diameter, insert the rivet into the hole until the flange sits flush with the surface, and use a compatible rivet tool to pull the mandrel until the rivet deforms and clamps the materials together. After the mandrel snaps, trim or remove any excess mandrel if necessary. Ensure material thicknesses fall within the rivet grip range and that mating surfaces are clean to achieve a secure joint.

Usage recommendations

Use a rivet tool rated for 4.8 mm aluminium rivets and select the correct drill size for a snug fit. For outdoor or high-corrosion environments, consider alternative materials or coatings. When fastening dissimilar metals, take measures to prevent galvanic corrosion, such as applying insulating washers or sealants. Wear eye protection when installing rivets and follow tool manufacturer safety guidance.
