Type FT-9 Flush Pull-through Rivet

Flush pull-through rivet: the head is pulled through the outer sheet so the visible face finishes flush.

Product overviewOverview

A blind rivet consists of a body and a mandrel. A pull-through rivet deforms the outer sheet into a countersink as it is set, so the flush finish depends on sheet ductility and on the support around the hole. In brittle or very thin sheet the sheet cracks instead of flowing, and the flush result cannot be achieved.

Material: Carbon Steel / Stainless Steel. It is set from one side with a rivet tool.

Key featuresFeatures

Flush finish comes from forming the sheet, so ductility is a requirement.
One-side installation with a snapped mandrel leaving a back-side anchor.
Fast cycle times suit high-volume lines; no tapping or welding.
Dome, countersunk and large-flange heads for different faces and loads.

Typical applicationsApplications

Sheet-metal enclosures
Automotive interior and body trim
Appliances and ducting

Selection notesSelection

Confirm the outer sheet can be formed without cracking; where it cannot, use a countersunk-head rivet in a machined or punched countersink instead.

Frequently asked questionsFAQ

What sheet can take a pull-through rivet?

Ductile sheet thick enough to form a countersink without cracking. Hard or brittle sheet, and very thin gauges, tend to split as the head pulls through.

What matters during installation of the Type FT-9 Flush Pull-through Rivet?

Set it from one side with a rivet tool. Flush finish comes from forming the sheet, so ductility is a requirement.

Manufacturing and inspection

Body diameter, length and mandrel break load are sampled per lot.We recommend a pilot assembly at the actual torque and mating part before locking the process parameters for volume.
