PRAIRIE RIVET
Other Rivets
Tinner rivets, tinner’s rivets, or tinman’s rivets get their names from being most often used to join together pieces of thin sheet metal. These solid, flat-headed rivets with relatively short lengths, can be found frequently used in HVAC applications.
How tinner rivets work: For installation, a tinner rivet is inserted from the underside of the workpiece through a pre-drilled hole.
The flathead should be placed on top of an anvil or similarly large, flat, sturdy surface. From there, a rivet set is placed on the shaft or shank end of the rivet.
The rivet set is then struck with a hammer to flatten the shaft, creating a second, round head that holds the joined materials in place.
