| Rivet Type | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Push | Push rivets are reusable rivets that are designed for fixing panels or joining components together. Push rivets are easy to install and do not require tooling. | ||
| Snap | Snap rivets are two-piece rivets that snap together. | ||
| Ratchet | A ratchet rivet is a two-part fastener that attaches panels by pressing the head into the shaft. The head can then be unscrewed to dismantle the panels. Ratchet rivets have a finished head on both sides. They are usually made of plastic. | ||

| Head Style | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Brazier | Brazier or modified brazier rivets have an oval-shaped head. They are used in standard applications. | ||
| Cone / Pan | Cone or pan head rivets have a high profile. A cone head has a flat bearing surface and a flat top surface that rounds into a cylindrical side surface. | ||
| Countersunk | Countersunk rivets should be specified whenever a flush surface is required. They are sometimes called flush head rivets. | ||
| Dome / Button | Dome head rivets or buttonheads are the most versatile and most commonly specified head style. This type of fastener features a low profile and a neat appearance. The dome head has twice the diameter of the rivet body, providing enough bearing surface to retain all but extremely soft or brittle materials. | ||
| Flat | Rivets have a flat head and a conical bearing surface. Flat head rivets may be countersunk or flush. | ||
| Large Flange | Large flange rivets have twice the underhead bearing surface of dome head rivets. Typically, large flange rivets are used in applications where soft or brittle materials must be joined to a rigid backing material. | ||
| Mushroom | Rivets have a mushroom-shaped head with a large, underhead footprint to distribute the load on softer materials. | ||
| Oval | Rivets have an oval-shaped head. | ||
| Round / Snap | The cross-sectional shape of the rivet head is round. Round rivets are sometimes called snap head rivets. | ||
| Truss | Truss head rivets are used in applications where a low profile head is desired. In comparison to the fastener size, the diameter of the truss head is larger than the diameter of the corresponding round head. | ||
| Universal | Universal rivets have an oval-shaped head. Some manufactures refer to universal rivets as mushroom, brazier, oval or truss head rivets. | ||
| Other | Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary head style. | ||

Dimensions

|
|
| ||
| Body Diameter | Body diameter is the diameter of the rivet. The clearance between the rivet and the hole in which the rivet is inserted should be about 1/32 in. or less. For example, the hole for a 1/4 in. rivet should be no more than 9/32 in. Rivet size capabilities may vary with rivet type and material. Consult manufacturers for details. | ||
| Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
| |||
| Grip Length | Grip length is the minimum and maximum thickness of all of the materials or parts that a fastener is designed to secure when assembled. | ||
| Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
| |||
| Shear Strength | Shear strength is resistance to transverse loading. It is usually defined as force in Newtons (N) or pounds (lbs). | ||
