1 4 Inch Steel Pop Rivets

1/4” Steel Pop Rivets are standard fasteners used in industry for medium strength structural connections. They offer a good balance of cost, strength and versatility. As a result, they are widely used in the mechanical, sheet metal, transportation and equipment assembly industries.

Rivet Body Diameter: 1/4 inch
Grip Range：0.063“-0.375”（1.6-9.5mm）according to models
Material: Steel body + steel mandrel, usually mild steel, zinc-plated finish
Head Options: Dome, Countersunk, Large Flange
Surface treatment: Electro-galvanized, cold galvanized, Dacromet (special anti-rust requirements)

Steel POP rivets are blind riveted connectors consisting of a steel rivet body with a steel mandrel, usually zinc plated or galvanized to prevent rust. It is suitable for one-sided installation environments where the back of the workpiece cannot be accessed.

Performance Characteristics of 1 4 Inch Steel Pop Rivets

Medium strength: higher tensile and shear resistance than aluminum rivets.
Cost control: lower cost than stainless steel, suitable for a large number of general assembly scenarios.
Reliable installation: Uniform structural expansion, can be used with standard riveting tools.
Optimized for corrosion resistance: can be galvanized or Dacromet to enhance corrosion resistance.

Installation Recommendations of 1 4 Inch Steel Pop Rivets

Recommended hole diameter: 6.6-6.9mm to ensure proper interference fit.
Nail pulling tools: standard manual or pneumatic nail pulling guns are suitable for batch installation.
Note: Steel rivets have high hardness, high resistance when pulling the core, avoid using low power tools.

Applicable Scenarios of 1 4 Inch Steel Pop Rivets

Sheet metal processing and mechanical equipment assembly
Commercial toolboxes, industrial trolley connectors
Refrigerated equipment frames, storage shelf components
Vehicle accessories, internal structure of carriages
Furniture hardware and metal frame structure fixing

Is this rivet all steel?

A: Yes, all-steel rivets are generally mild steel or medium carbon steel nail body with galvanized steel mandrel. There is also a combination of steel body + stainless steel mandrel to enhance corrosion resistance.

Is there any rust prevention treatment? What is the coating?

A: Usually electro galvanized (white or yellow zinc) or mechanically galvanized, some industrial grade products will be coated with Dacromet to improve the salt spray time.

What materials are suitable for connection?

Answer: For steel-to-steel or steel-to-plastic rigid material connections. Not recommended for aluminum connections to avoid galvanic corrosion.

What is the tensile/shear strength?

A: Tensile strength is typically in the range of 1,800-2,500 N and shear strength is in the range of 1,500-2,000 N. Different head types (e.g. large cap heads) may disperse greater loads.

What are the packaging specifications? Is there any industrial barcode?

A: The industrial packaging is often 500-1,000 pcs/ctn, with pouches inside, which can be labeled with batch codes and barcodes for easy inventory traceability.
