What preparation is necessary for installing flush rivets?
Before flush rivets can be installed, those nicely deburred rivet holes must be prepared for the countersunk heads by dimpling or countersinking the material. Dimpling is the process of compressing the metal around a rivet hole, between a male and female die set, to create a nest for the rivet head.
Can you install rivets without a rivet gun?
To install rivet nuts without a tool, you will still need more than just your bare hands. You will also need a bolt that 1) has its own nut, and 2) can fit into the rivet nut. Insert the bolt as far into the rivet nut as you can, then manually screw it in until the nut and washer stop you from screwing any further.6 Aug 2019
