Flat Head SemiTubular Rivets GB873 Stainless Steel 304 China Factory Suppliers
Flat Head Semi-Tubular Rivets are precision-engineered fastening solutions designed specifically for single-sided installation. Manufactured from high-grade Stainless Steel 304 and adhering to the GB873 standard, these rivets provide a secure, permanent bond in applications such as enclosure assembly, instrument panel fixation, and lightweight bracket mounting. Their unique semi-tubular structure ensures uniform deformation during the riveting process, making them an ideal choice for joining materials of varying thicknesses without requiring backside support.
Optimized for efficiency and aesthetics, the low-profile flat head design minimizes the risk of snagging and ensures a clean finish. While designed for lightweight and medium-duty applications, these rivets offer superior moisture resistance and sealing performance compared to fully tubular alternatives. Whether you are working in enclosed spaces or hard-to-reach areas, our semi-tubular rivets deliver a reliable, industrial-grade connection at competitive wholesale prices.

| Feature | Semi-Tubular Rivets | Solid Rivets |
|---|---|---|
| Installation Speed | Very High (Single-Sided) | Low (Dual-Sided) |
| Labor Cost | Low (Pneumatic/Manual) | High (Manual Hammering) |
| Application Reach | High (Enclosed Areas) | Limited (Open Access) |
| Sealing Performance | Superior | Moderate |
| Material Waste | Minimal | Higher (Trimming req.) |
Semi-tubular rivets have a shallower hollow section compared to fully tubular rivets, which results in better end closure after riveting and superior moisture resistance and sealing performance.
Generally, semi-tubular rivets are not recommended for high-vibration or heavy load-bearing environments, as their connection strength is lower than that of solid rivets or heavy-duty bolts.
Installation requires specialized riveting tools such as manual rivet guns or pneumatic riveting machines to apply the necessary pulling and compressing force.
Stainless Steel 304 provides excellent corrosion resistance and durability, making these rivets suitable for industrial environments where moisture or chemicals are present.
It is critical to match the hole size to the rivet diameter; oversized holes may result in insecure fastening, while undersized holes can make insertion difficult and damage the rivet body.
Flat head rivets are preferred when you need a low-profile surface that minimizes snagging risks, whereas countersunk rivets are used when the head must be completely flush with the material surface.
