1/8" Copper Blind Pop Rivets with Brass Mandrel
Copper Blind Pop Rivets with Brass Mandrel - #42 / #44
Available in individual bags of 100 and boxes of 1000. Discounts for quantities.
Copper pop rivets (blind rivets) are used to connect two pieces of material in a quick efficient way. Often used when installing gutters, downspouts and their accessories. Sold in bags of 100 pcs or 1000 pcs. Please order in multiples of 100.
Solid brass mandrel, not coated steel like cheaper rivets. Ideal for outside applications.
Use an 1/8" or a #30 drill bit for rivet holes.
These blind rivets have a break away mandrel shaft that will require the use of a pop rivet tool.

Galvanic Reaction
Choosing the right type of fastener can be confusing as some metals don't work well together. They can "attack" other metals which will cause at best discoloration and at worst structural failure. And it is not just differing metals touching each other that can cause issues. Mere proximity must be considered. Rainwater runoff from a reactive metal to another can wreak havoc. It is therefore very important to keep galvanic reaction potential in mind when planning the design of your building.
