Blind Rivet – Multigrip – Open End – Dome Head Technical Datasheet
Product Overview
Blind Rivet – Multigrip – Open End – Dome Head rivets are designed to accommodate a wider grip range than conventional blind rivets, reducing inventory requirements and simplifying assembly operations. These rivets provide excellent hole-filling capability, high clamp force retention, and reliable fastening performance across varying material thicknesses. Their ability to accommodate oversized, irregular, or variable thickness holes makes them suitable for high-volume industrial assembly applications.
Typical applications include sheet metal fabrication, electrical enclosures, HVAC equipment, automotive components, transportation equipment, telecommunications cabinets, appliances, and general manufacturing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a multigrip blind rivet?
A multigrip blind rivet is a blind rivet designed to accommodate a much wider grip range than conventional blind rivets, allowing one rivet size to replace several standard grip ranges.
What is the advantage of multigrip rivets over standard blind rivets?
Multigrip rivets reduce inventory, compensate for variable material thicknesses, provide superior hole fill, and simplify assembly operations.
Can multigrip rivets be installed using standard rivet tools?
Yes. Most multigrip blind rivets can be installed using standard manual, pneumatic, or battery-operated blind rivet tools.
Are multigrip rivets suitable for oversized holes?
Yes. One of their primary advantages is excellent performance in oversized, slotted, and irregular holes.
What material combinations are available?
Common combinations include Aluminium/Steel, Steel/Steel, Stainless Steel/Stainless Steel, and Aluminium/Stainless Steel.
Are multigrip rivets structural rivets?
No. Multigrip rivets are designed primarily for extended grip capability and hole compensation. For high-strength structural applications, structural blind rivets such as Monobolts or Interlock rivets are recommended.
Are multigrip rivets watertight?
No. Open end blind rivets are not designed to provide a watertight seal. For sealing applications, closed end blind rivets are recommended.
