Classified by type
There are various types of 4.8 mm pop rivets. Rivmate can help customers select the appropriate type of 4.8 mm pop rivet based on their specific application.
Open End Blind Rivet
An open-end blind rivet is a one-side-installed fastener used to permanently join two or more material components. Its tail end has an open structure; after installation, the rivet mandrel is not fully sealed, and the tail remains open.
Tri Fold Rivet
Tri-fold blind rivets use a three-petal expansion design to create a larger rear bearing surface. This spreads riveting pressure, reducing hole tearing, cracking, and local deformation, making them suitable for soft materials, thin sheets, FRP, and composites.
Bulk Bom Blind Rivets
BOM rivets are suitable for heavy-duty structural applications, with strength approaching that of bolts. They are suitable for high-load connections in trucks, vehicle frames, heavy machinery, and similar applications.
Closed-End Blind Rivet
Closed-end pop rivets are a type of pop rivet with a closed end. Unlike open-end pop rivets, the end of a closed-end pop rivet is closed rather than open. They are suitable for fastening applications that require sealed, protective connections.
Interlock Blind Rivets
Peel Type Blind Rivet
Designed for soft, thin, and crack-prone materials, it forms petal-like tails during installation, creating wider support, distributing stress and reducing pull-out, cracking, and loosening, making it suitable for plastics, wood, composite panels, and lightweight sheets.
Monobolt Blind Rivet
Monobolt Rivets use a mechanical structure on the exterior to lock the mandrel in place, providing stronger clamping force and a more visible locked state. They are commonly used in heavy-duty structures and high-stress environments.
Multi Grip Pop Rivet
Multi-grip rivets offer a wide grip range for sheets of varied thicknesses. Compared with standard blind rivets, they cover more thicknesses with fewer sizes, reducing SKUs, simplifying inventory, and lowering wrong-size selection risks in assembly.
Q Lock Structural Blind Rivet
Q-type rivets are structural blind rivets with reinforced bodies and locking mechanisms. Installed from one side, they form load-bearing joints for sheet metal, brackets, and structural components, offering high tensile strength, shear strength, stability, and reliability.

What Are 4.8 mm Pop Rivets?
4.8 mm Pop Rivets refer to blind rivets with a shank diameter of 4.8 mm, also known as 3/16-inch blind rivets.
They are mechanical fasteners that can be installed from one side. During installation, the rivet gun pulls the mandrel, causing the rivet body to deform on the back side of the material and form a clamping structure, thereby completing the riveting process.
4.8 mm pop rivets are suitable for medium-strength industrial joints. They can be used in general sheet metal work, equipment enclosures, HVAC components, vehicle panels, industrial brackets, and OEM mass production.
