Benefits of a Large Flange Head Pop Rivet

There are many advantages to using the large flange head pop rivet. Some of these benefits may include the following:

• Increased bearing surface - Thanks to the larger flange, the pop rivet's clamping force is distributed over a much larger area. This reduces the risk of damaging soft or thin materials. 

• Improved grip strength - The wider flange on this type of pop rivet leads to a much-improved grip strength. Because of this, it's ideal for applications that require high shear or tensile strength. 

• Larger hole tolerance - Because of the larger hole, this type of pop rivet can accommodate slightly large or misaligned holes.

• Reduced number of rivets - Thanks to their large size, large flange head pop rivets typically don't require as many rivets to accomplish the same task. 

• Aesthetic appeal - The larger flange head can seem a lot more decorative and finished than some other types of pop rivets.
