![]() ![]() Simply install the Bulb-tite and finish the rivet head with an Olympic head-shaving tool. The Bulb-titeís large blindside footprint functions well in rivet holes that have become elongated or too large to allow use of a solid rivet. The Shaveable Bulb-tite simplifies repairs made to solid riveted assemblies, as rivet replacement does not require access to the blind side of the application. ![]() The Shaveable series of Bulb-tite rivets are designed for use in applications where solid ìbuckedî type rivets are commonly used such as truck/trailer body assembly or repair. RV6605 Large Flange Head (Protruding Crown) RV6603 & RV6604 Dome Head (Protruding Crown) Some Bulb-tite sizes are also available in steel and monel materials where higher strength is required. MATERIAL CHOICES: The standard Bulb-tite rivets are made of aluminum alloy, providing a durable non-rusting fastener that can withstand weather-related corrosion. Shaved Bulb-tite rivet heads then match the appearance of solid rivets in the assembly. The Shaveable Bulb-tite rivet head is finished using a special head-shaving tool. They are ideal for repair of solid riveted assemblies where access to the applicationís blind side may be no longer accessible. The unique Shaveable Head Bulb-tite was specifically designed for use in heavy truck and trailer applications where solid rivets are used. Color matched plastic finish caps can be snapped onto certain Bulb-tite head styles to conceal installed rivet heads. Standard Dome, Low Profile, Large Flange and Countersunk head styles are available. CHOICE OF FINISHED APPEARANCE: Bulb-tite rivets are offered in a variety of head styles. Fewer rivet sizes may be required resulting in reduced inventory requirements and simplified fastener selection. Most sizes fasten over a 1/4" thickness range. MULTI-GRIP CAPABILITY: Each Bulb-tite handles a wide variation in material thickness. ![]() Oversized or elongated holes can be adequately covered by the large leg formations to resist pull through under stress in high tension-load applications. The folded legs individually conform to curved surfaces enabling fastening onto pipes, corrugations and other challenging shaped applications. HARD-TO-FASTEN APPLICATIONS: Bulb-tite rivets function well in materials where other fasteners fail. This enables soft, thin, ductile and even brittle materials to be securely clamped without deformation, cracking or other damage to the application. HIGH CLAMPING: The large three-legged upset head evenly distributes the Bulb-tite rivetís high clamp load over a broader bearing surface than do conventional blind rivets. Bulb-tite rivets are less prone to failure in high shear loads. HIGH STRENGTH: Another benefit of the Bulb-tite rivetís retained mandrel core is the added strength it provides. Adding the optional washer to the Bulb-tite, creates an additional seal around the perimeter of the rivet head, to stop moisture from intruding beneath the rivet head. This crown-crimp effectively seals the rivet bore off from intrusion of dirt and moisture. WEATHER TIGHT: A special nose tip on the rivet installation tool crimps a crown feature on the rivet head. *Flush mandrel break requires use of special Bulb-tite installation tool nose tip. The Bulb-tite mandrel breaks off *flush with the rivet head.
