Klamp-Tite - Aluminium
Brands you know and trust - Avdel®
The Avdel® Klamp-Tite® structural rivet features a unique tri-folding blind-side anchor and rubber sealing washer, delivering excellent pull-through resistance, strong clamping force and reliable protection against weather and vibration. Its wide material grip range, large blind-side bearing area and visible mechanical lock make it ideal for lightweight panel applications, including curved or uneven surfaces, while allowing quick visual inspection of correct installation.
Klamp-Tite® Structural Load-Spreading Rivets
Klamp-Tite® structural rivets, also known as tri-fold or tri-bulb blind rivets, are high-performance fasteners designed to create strong, secure joints in thin or lightweight materials. Their unique three-leg folding design makes them ideal for applications where access is limited to one side of the workpiece.
During installation, the rivet body expands into a tri-folding blind-side anchor, distributing clamping force across a wider surface area and providing excellent pull-through resistance.
Klamp-Tite® structural rivets feature three key elements:
-
Rivet Body: The main aluminium body that passes through the materials being joined and forms the secure fastening joint.
-
Mandrel: The central pin that is pulled during installation, causing the rivet body to expand and form its blind-side anchor. Structural Klamp-Tite® rivets feature a visible mechanical lock that securely retains the mandrel.
-
Tri-Folding Blind-Side Anchor: Formed from the rivet body during installation, the three expanding legs create a large bearing surface that spreads the clamping force across the rear sheet, helping prevent pull-through and material damage.
Klamp-Tite® Folding Rivets – Installation Guide
Installing a Klamp-Tite® structural rivet is quick and straightforward using a compatible rivet gun fitted with the correct nosepiece.
The rivet is inserted into a pre-drilled hole in the materials being joined. As the rivet gun pulls the mandrel from the accessible side, the rivet body expands into three folding legs that clamp securely against the blind side of the material, creating a strong, permanent joint.
The structural Klamp-Tite® features a visible mechanical lock, allowing quick visual inspection to confirm correct installation.
Klamp-Tite® rivets are widely used in automotive manufacturing, commercial vehicle fabrication, construction, cladding and general sheet metal applications. Their wide material grip range, vibration resistance and excellent load-spreading capability make them particularly suitable for joining thin sheets, plastics, composites and other lightweight or low-strength materials.
