Material Options
South Coast Fasteners stocks rivets in multiple configurations that provide strength, adaptability, and performance for a wide range of fastening needs.
Blind Rivets (Pop Rivets)
Blind rivets, also known as pop rivets, are the workhorse of the rivet world. They can be installed when access is limited to just one side of the material, making them invaluable in fabrication, maintenance, and repair. Automotive technicians use them for body panels, HVAC installers rely on them for ductwork, and manufacturers count on them for quick, reliable fastening in thin-gauge materials. Their ease of installation makes them one of the most widely used rivet types in both professional and DIY projects.
Large Flange Blind Rivets
Large flange blind rivets offer an extra-wide bearing surface, distributing load over a broader area and reducing the risk of pull-through in softer materials. They are especially useful for fastening plastics, fiberglass, and thin sheet metals where standard rivets might tear or distort the material. By spreading out the force, large flange rivets increase both the strength and durability of the connection.
Countersunk Blind Rivets
Countersunk blind rivets are designed to sit flush with the surface, creating a smooth finish that won’t snag or catch. They are ideal for appearance-critical applications such as automotive bodywork, furniture, or equipment enclosures. Beyond aesthetics, flush mounting also reduces turbulence in aerodynamic or fluid systems, making these rivets practical in aerospace and marine applications as well.
Backup Rivet Washers
Backup rivet washers are simple but highly effective accessories that increase load-bearing strength and prevent rivets from pulling through soft or thin materials. They are commonly paired with blind rivets in plastics, composites, and lightweight metals, adding long-term reliability to installations where material strength is limited.
Closed-End Blind Rivets
Closed-end blind rivets are designed with sealed ends, creating airtight and watertight joints. This makes them essential in HVAC, marine, and outdoor applications where preventing leaks is critical. By blocking the passage of air, fluids, or contaminants, closed-end rivets add another layer of protection to structural and mechanical assemblies.
Multi-Grip Blind Rivets
Multi-grip blind rivets are engineered to work across a range of material thicknesses, reducing the need to stock multiple rivet sizes. This versatility makes them especially valuable for field work, maintenance crews, and industries where conditions vary from one installation to the next. Their ability to accommodate variation without compromising strength adds convenience and efficiency.
Steel Rivet Nuts (Threaded Inserts)
Steel rivet nuts create strong, reusable threads in thin materials that cannot be tapped or threaded directly. They are used extensively in automotive panels, sheet metal fabrication, and industrial equipment where bolts or screws must be installed into lightweight structures. Their ability to add internal threads opens up new fastening possibilities in thin or hollow materials.
Aluminum Rivet Nuts
Aluminum rivet nuts provide lightweight, corrosion-resistant threads for applications where weight reduction is important. They are a go-to in aerospace, marine, and transportation projects where every ounce matters but strength and durability cannot be compromised. Their resistance to rust and light weight make them a smart solution for long-term performance.
Available Finishes
South Coast Fasteners offers rivets in finishes that extend performance, resist environmental wear, and provide tailored solutions for specialized applications.
Zinc Plating
Zinc plating creates a protective barrier against rust while maintaining a clean, metallic appearance. It is a practical, cost-effective finish widely used in outdoor construction, marine environments, and automotive projects where moisture exposure is common.
Nickel Plating
Nickel plating produces a tough, lustrous coating that resists both corrosion and wear. It is ideal for rivets used in heavy industrial equipment, high-friction environments, or where a durable, polished appearance is desired.
Chrome Plating
Chrome plating provides a bright, reflective surface that is both decorative and protective. It offers strong corrosion resistance while delivering a clean, professional look, making it a popular choice in automotive, architectural, and consumer products.
Black Oxide
Black oxide gives rivets a sleek, non-reflective matte finish while adding rust protection. It is often chosen in industrial, defense, and tooling applications where glare reduction and durability are important.
Cadmium Plating
Cadmium plating is used in aerospace and military applications because of its exceptional resistance to salt corrosion and extreme environments. It offers unparalleled performance in critical, high-stakes systems where reliability cannot be compromised.
Anodizing
Anodizing enhances aluminum rivets by increasing corrosion resistance, adding hardness, and offering optional color finishes. This process is widely used in aerospace, marine, and consumer products where both strength and aesthetics are valued.
Passivation
Passivation is a chemical process applied to stainless steel rivets that removes impurities and strengthens natural corrosion resistance. It ensures stainless fasteners maintain their integrity and longevity even in highly corrosive environments, such as marine and chemical processing applications.
