Installation steps
- Place the blind rivet with mandrel into the installation tool and insert into the drilled hole.
- On triggering the installation tool, the jaws take hold of the mandrel and pull. At the same time, the mandrel head swages the end of the shank on the sleeve. The rivet is installed when the mandrel head is at the same height as the surface layer of the component.
- A surge of force is applied at this point, causing the mandrel to snap off when it reaches its set breaking point
