Rebite cego GESIPA 1455053 Al/A2 5x16 mm para intervalo de aperto 10,0–12,0 mm, pack de 500

GESIPA blind rivet Al/A2 5x16 mm (for 10.0–12.0 mm grip) in a pack of 500 is a solid-design blind fastener for permanent joining where access is possible from one side only. Made with an aluminium body and A2 stainless steel mandrel, this rivet is intended for reliable single-sided installation in thin sheets and components. The pack quantity of 500 supports batch operations and frequent use in production, maintenance, or on-site assembly.

Advantages

The aluminium body provides corrosion-resistant contact with many base materials while the A2 stainless steel mandrel gives increased strength and controlled break-off. The 5 mm diameter and 16 mm length suit a 10.0–12.0 mm material grip, ensuring a consistent blind-side formation and dependable retention. Supplied in a bulk pack of 500, these rivets reduce handling time for repetitive fastening tasks and offer predictable performance when installed with compatible blind rivet tools.

Suitable for

• Metal fabrication and sheet metal assembly
• Construction and cladding installations
• HVAC ductwork and ventilation systems
• Maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) operations
• Applications requiring one-sided access or where through-bolting is impractical

Key specifications

• Material combination: aluminium body with A2 (stainless steel) mandrel
• Nominal diameter: 5 mm
• Overall length: 16 mm
• Recommended grip range: 10.0–12.0 mm
• Pack quantity: 500 pieces

How to use

Select a blind rivet tool compatible with 5 mm rivets and check that the tool’s nosepiece and mandrel capture suit the A2 mandrel diameter. Prepare mating parts by drilling a clearance hole sized for 5 mm rivets. Insert the rivet through the components until the flange rests against the material surface, then actuate the rivet tool to set the rivet and form the blind-side bulbed profile. Continue pulling until the mandrel breaks at its designed shear point; discard used mandrels according to local waste guidelines. Inspect the joint for correct seating and tightenments if necessary by replacing any damaged rivets.

Recommendations

For durable joints and to avoid galvanic corrosion, ensure compatible materials and consider using isolation or sealants when joining dissimilar metals. Use appropriately rated blind rivet tools and regularly inspect tool maintenance items such as nosepieces and jaws to maintain consistent setting force and repeatable results.
