Metal Speed Rivets

The Slotted Body Insert has been designed for use in plastics and thin gauge sheet metal applications where increased pull-out resistance is required. The round body has four slotted segments that fold outward from the hole center as the insert is installed, to grip the host material from the backside. They can be used in single, variable or multiple thicknesses of materials with no adjustments, when installed with proper hand or pneumatic torque tools. These inserts are standard with a round head, or order a square head to be used in embossed or molded square-shaped recesses for maximum spin out resistance. KEY BENEFITS:Plastics and Thin Gauge Sheet metalsVarying Thickness Materials without adjustment, using torque stall type tools available through EFC InternationalExceptional Pull Out Resistance even in hand-drilled or over-sized holesSuperior Corrosion Resistance since all surfaces of the body are plated.Superior Thread Strength due to internal roll threading process Quality Installation - Locate special installation tools anywhere in assembly, even in variable thickness materials, before or after finish. * Please contact EFC International for square-head part numbers or materials and finishes not listed here. Special orders are subject to minimum order requirements. Note 1: Grip ranges stated below can be achieved using pull type installation tools and may be variable based on hole size and parent material density. EFC recommends trial installations to determine actual grip range in the application. Note 2: Grip ranges will be less than stated below when using torque type installation tools, and will be affected by the tool RPM speed, stall torque, hole size and parent material density. EFC recommends trial installations to determine actual grip.MATERIAL: Steel 1010/1008 FINISHES: Zinc Trivalent Chromate - ROHS compliantTin-Zinc Trivalent Chromate - ROHS compliantZinc /Yellow Dichromate per ASTM-B-633 Type II FE/ZN .0003 (8u) with Clear Protective Coating Yellow Tin Zinc per BPS-TZ-327 .0003 (8u) with Clear Protective CoatingAvailable Materials:See Above Available Finish:See Above
