Rivet VOREL 70490

The VOREL 70490 rivets are aluminum blind rivets designed to provide a lightweight and reliable fastening solution for a range of assembly tasks. Supplied in a pack of 50 pieces, these rivets are suitable for joining thin sheets, panels and components where access is available from one side only. The aluminum construction balances corrosion resistance with ease of installation, making the fasteners appropriate for general-purpose metalwork, workshop repairs and home improvement projects.

Advantages

These rivets combine low weight with adequate tensile strength for common fastening applications. The aluminum material reduces the risk of rust in non-marine environments while keeping the fastener easy to handle and set. The pack size of 50 pieces supports multiple small-to-medium jobs without frequent repurchase. Installation is straightforward with standard blind-riveting tools, delivering consistent clamp and shear performance when used within the specified material thickness range.

Suitable for

• Joining thin sheet metal and aluminium panels
• Fixing brackets, trims and light fittings
• Automotive trim and interior assemblies
• DIY repairs, hobby projects and small construction tasks

Key specifications

• Material: Aluminium body and mandrel appropriate for blind riveting
• Quantity: 50 pieces per pack
• Type: Blind (one-sided) rivets suitable for inaccessible rear sides
• Typical applications: non-structural joining of thin materials

How to use

Prepare mating parts by aligning holes of the correct diameter for the selected rivet. Insert the rivet through the holes, position the mandrel in the nosepiece of a compatible blind-riveting tool, and operate the tool until the mandrel snaps and the rivet body forms a blind head on the far side. After setting, verify that the joint is tight and free of gaps. If necessary, deburr hole edges prior to assembly to ensure consistent seating and to prevent damage during installation.

Usage recommendations

Use rivets of the correct length and hole diameter for the combined material thickness. Select a rivet size that provides adequate grip range and shear strength for the intended load. Store in a dry place to avoid contamination and check compatibility with coated or dissimilar metals to reduce the chance of galvanic corrosion.
