Understanding Nose Assemblies
A nose assembly is the prerequisite attachment that installs either Huck bolts or Structural Rivets - in essence, the link between the Huck gun and the fastener. Huck guns require a nose and their selection depends on the tool, fastener, & diameter.

Lock Bolt guns and their interchangeable nose assemblies provide the versatility to install either a Structural Rivet or a Pin & Collar Huck bolt. At Aerobolt, we can assist with selection, here is an overview of the popular options associated with the HG-10732.
| Fastener Type | Diameter | Nose Assembly Product Code |
| Structural Rivets | 7.9 mm (5/16”) | 99-10HRVT |
| 9.5mm (3/8") | 99-12HRVT | |
| Huck Bolts "MG" | 4.8 mm (3/16”) | 99-06HBLT |
| 6.4mm (1/4") | 99-08HBLT | |
| C6LB 'Xtralok' | 7.9 mm (5/16”) | 99-99-245 |
| 9.5mm (3/8") | 99-100-245 |
Nose Assembly Maintenance.
Keep the nose in good operating condition requires a couple of key tasks:
- Keep nose assembly tight on tool piston.
- Clean nose assembly jaws on a regular basis by removing metal shards from the jaws and other locations with a suitable instrument.
