Aluminium structural Large Flange Bulb Rivets 7.7mm x 27mm

Bulb rivet has a large clamping force that is distributed evenly over a large surface area combining to provide a high strength weatherproof joint.

This even distribution force allows for soft or thin materials to be joined without damage. The three plates of the closing head adapt the form of curved surfaces for varied applications, while also maintaining even clamping force and impressive shear strength.

This type of structural Bulb rivet gently distributes the clamping force whilst providing pull through resistance, making them an ideal rivet for many lightweight material applications.

The Bulb's wide material grip range enables a single rivet to work in a greater variation of material thicknesses and numerous application including curved or uneven surfaces.
