What to specify when ordering
Measure the complete stack at the hole, including the thickness of all joined sheets and any permanent layers. Check that the tool can sit squarely over the head and that the formed tail has clearance behind the panel.

Frequently asked questions
Can I install it from one side?
Yes. An open-end blind rivet is set from the accessible side. Check the setting tool’s access and leave enough clearance behind the joint for the formed tail.
How do I choose the grip range?
Measure the minimum and maximum thickness of the assembled stack. Choose a rivet whose stated grip range covers that interval.
Is an open-end rivet a sealed fastener?
Do not assume a sealed joint. If water or air ingress matters, specify the sealing requirement and validate the proposed assembly.
What should I include in a rivet RFQ?
Provide the joint stack, hole diameter, head style, body and mandrel requirements, quantity and any tests the assembled joint must pass.
