Blind rivets GESIPA 1454124 5×18 mm aluminium body steel mandrel, pack 250 pcs

GESIPA blind rivets 5×18 mm with an aluminium body and steel mandrel are designed for permanent blind-side fastening of thin metal sheets, aluminium profiles and similar materials. Supplied in a pack of 250 pieces, these rivets fit standard 5 mm blind rivet tools and provide a consistent clinch and shear resistance suited to general repair, assembly and construction work.

Advantages

The aluminium body ensures corrosion resistance and light weight while the steel mandrel provides secure expansion and high shear strength. Uniform manufacturing tolerances deliver consistent setting behavior and reduced tool wear. Bulk packaging of 250 pieces reduces downtime for repetitive tasks and helps maintain a steady supply on the job.

Suitable for

• Joining thin metal sheets and aluminium panels
• Assembly of frames and profiles where access is available from one side only
• General repair and maintenance tasks in workshops and construction sites
• Automotive trim and interior fastening where a lightweight rivet is required

Key specifications

• Rivet size: 5×18 mm
• Body material: aluminium
• Mandrel material: steel
• Pack quantity: 250 pieces
• Designed for 5 mm blind rivet tools

How to use

Select a compatible 5 mm blind rivet tool and drill a hole matching the rivet diameter. Insert the rivet through the assembled parts with the mandrel head protruding, engage the mandrel in the tool and operate the tool to draw the mandrel, expanding the aluminium body and forming a flange on the blind side. Continue until the mandrel snaps off, indicating a completed joint. Inspect the set rivet for complete expansion and ensure parts are clamped evenly.

Recommendations

Use appropriate safety equipment such as eye protection and gloves when setting rivets. Pre-drill holes to the correct diameter for clean installation, and choose rivet length according to material stack thickness to ensure proper mandrel break and clamp load. Store rivets dry and protected from contamination to maintain consistent setting performance.
