FACTORY ALUMINUM LOAD SPREADING TRIFOLD BLIND RIVETSFACTORY ALUMINUM LOAD SPREADING TRIFOLD BLIND RIVETS:
HOW THE Bounty Tri-fold WORKS: During installation the rivet body folds into three separate legs, forming the blind-side upset head. The Bounty Tri-fold mandrel breaks off flush with the rivet head. Flush mandrel break requires use of special Bounty Tri-fold installation tool nose tip.
WEATHER TIGHT: A special nose tip on the rivet installation tool crimps a crown feature on the rivet head. This crown-crimp effectively seals the rivet bore off from intrusion of dirt and moisture. Adding the optional washer to the Bounty Tri-fold, creates an additional seal around the perimeter of the rivet head, to stop moisture from intruding beneath the rivet head. HIGH STRENGTH: Another benefit of the Bounty Tri-fold rivets retained mandrel core is the added strength it provides. Bounty Tri-fold rivets are less prone to failure in high shear loads.
HIGH CLAMPING: The large three-legged upset head evenly distributes the Bounty Tri-fold rivets high clamp load over a broader bearing surface than do conventional blind rivets. This enables soft, thin, ductile and even brittle materials to be securely clamped without deformation, cracking or other damage to the application.
CHOICE OF FINISHED APPEARANCE:Bounty Tri-fold rivets are offered in a variety of head styles. Standard Dome, Low Profile, Large Flange and Countersunk head styles are available. Color matched plastic finish caps can be snapped onto certain Bounty Tri-fold head styles to conceal installed rivet heads. The unique Shaveable Head Bounty Tri-fold was specifically designed for use in heavy truck and trailer applications where solid rivets are used. They are ideal for repair of solid riveted assemblies where access to the applications blind side may be no longer accessible. The Shaveable Bounty Tri-fold rivet head is finished using a special head-shaving tool. Shaved Bounty Tri-fold rivet heads then match the appearance of solid rivets in the assembly.
