Washer Rivet

Description

A washer rivet is a fastening component consisting of a hollow rivet body with a washer attached to one end, used for joining materials together securely. During installation, the rivet is inserted through pre-drilled holes in the materials to be joined, and then the end of the rivet is deformed or “bucked” to secure it in place, typically using a rivet gun or similar tool. The washer attached to the rivet provides a larger bearing surface, distributing the load over a wider area and helping to prevent the rivet from pulling through the material. Washer rivets find application across various industries, including automotive, aerospace, construction, and manufacturing, for tasks such as fastening metal panels, attaching nameplates or labels, and securing insulation.
