BULB-TITE blind rivets alu/alu dome head 5.2 x 17.5 EPDM

Originally designed for the construction industry, the GESIPA-BULB-TITE rivets have proven their worth in many other application fields thanks to their multifunctional properties. The majority of the BULB-TITE program has been approved by the „Deutsches Institut für Bautechnik“ in Berlin thereby guaranteeing extra security when used in steel constructions or on facades. Thanks to the shear zone overlap of the BULB-TITE-rivet mandrel in the application, permanent and very high shear forces can be achieved. The use of a special nosepiece when processing the BULB-TITE-rivet locks the mandrel into the sealing part on the setting head side to prevent dirt and/or damp penetrating the application. The sealing washer, which is available as an optional accesory, offers added protection against wet and damp below the closing head. The three large pressure plates distribute the clamping forces evenly across a large area of the surface so that even soft, thin, supple or brittle materials can be riveted safely without destroying or damaging the surface. BULB-TITE- rivets also guarantee a safe function where other rivets have already given up. The three plates of the closing head adapt and form to fit even curved application surfaces so that safe riveting is possible even on pipes, beads and other unusually formed applications. Please note that to achieve the best possible values from the GESIPA-BULB-TITE, use of special tools/nosepieces is required. BULB-TITE blind rivets of all head Types (except countersunk) are optionally available with washer, too.
