Rivetto cieco GESIPA 5x16 mm Al/A2 per pannelli 10,0–12,0 mm, confezione da 250

Blind rivet GESIPA 5x16 mm Al/A2 for 10.0–12.0 mm panels is a pull-type fastener designed to join overlapped materials with a grip range of 10.0–12.0 mm. The rivet has an aluminum body and an A2 (stainless steel) mandrel, combining lightweight clamping with enhanced corrosion resistance at the mandrel. Supplied in a pack of 250, this set is intended for repetitive fastening tasks in sheet metal work, panel assembly and general construction or manufacturing environments.

Advantages

The aluminum body reduces weight and minimizes the risk of galvanic corrosion when used with compatible materials, while the A2 mandrel improves resistance to rust and environmental degradation. The 5x16 mm size provides a secure joint for panels and sheets within the specified 10.0–12.0 mm grip range. Packaged quantity of 250 supports medium to large projects and reduces interruptions for replenishment.

Suitable for

• Joining thin to medium-thickness panels and sheet metal with total material thickness of 10.0–12.0 mm
• Panel assembly in building façades, cladding and partition systems
• General fastening tasks in workshops, maintenance and light manufacturing
• Applications where corrosion resistance of the mandrel is required

Key specifications

• Rivet head and body material: aluminum
• Mandrel material: A2 stainless steel
• Rivet dimensions: 5 mm diameter x 16 mm length
• Grip range: 10.0–12.0 mm
• Pack quantity: 250 rivets

How to use

Prepare the mating parts by aligning the holes with the correct 5 mm diameter. Insert the rivet through the assembled panels until the head sits flush against the outer surface. Use a compatible blind rivet tool designed for 5 mm diameter rivets, then actuate the tool to pull the mandrel and form the blind-side bulge until the mandrel breaks off. Verify the formed head and the clamping firmness; replace any rivets that show incomplete deformation or movement.

Recommendations

Store rivets in a dry environment and handle with clean tools to avoid contamination. Match the rivet materials to the joined substrates to minimize galvanic reaction: aluminum body is suitable for many non-ferrous and coated steels, while the A2 mandrel offers improved corrosion resistance. For critical structural applications, confirm load requirements and test sample joints before full production use.
