HAMMER DRIVE RIVET
HAMMER DRIVE RIVET TYPE-U
📌 Overview
The Hammer Drive Rivet Type-U is a quick-install, permanent mechanical fastener designed for speedy and secure fastening of components to materials like sheet metal, plastics, or soft masonry. Featuring a solid body with a drive pin, the rivet is set by simply hammering the center pin, causing the rivet body to expand and grip tightly into the hole.
This rivet is especially useful in applications where installation speed, vibration resistance, and tamper resistance are critical. Commonly used in electrical enclosures, nameplates, panels, and signage mounting.
