A closed end Rivet is a type of tubular rivet with a mandrel through the center and a unique, cup-shaped end configuration that is designed for watertight applications or when stem retention is vital.

Known as a Closed end blind rivet is a type of tubular rivet with a mandrel through the center. To install a closed end rivet, the entire fastener is inserted through drilled holes in the parts being joined.

Fully sealed fastening! Our exclusive Closed-End rivet design is ideal for applications that need to be watertight or when stem retention is paramount.

This blind rivet produces a seal that prevents passage of liquid or vapor at pressures up to 100 psi. The seal is possible thanks to a unique cup-shaped end configuration which prevents vapor or liquid from getting around or through the set rivet.

Our Closed-End blind sealing rivets provide up to 23% greater tensile strength than equivalent open-end rivets. Plus, closed-end rivets provide 100% mandrel retention, which can be an important factor in applications such as electric and electronic equipment.

This rivet type is available with dome or countersunk head styles in a variety of material combinations, including stainless steel.
