Truss Head Semi-Tubular & Custom Rivets
Valley Fasteners provides custom rivets, screws, and fasteners to industrial and manufacturing partners. Our truss head semi-tubular rivets provide a smooth, low profile that creates an aesthetically appealing finish.
Features of Truss Head Semi-Tubular Rivets
The unique shape of truss heads distributes weight over a large area, making them an excellent choice for joining brittle materials. Like other blind rivets, truss head rivets have a low-profile domed head. They are aesthetically pleasing and very well suited to applications where finished appearance matters.
Truss head semi-tubular rivets combine those features with a partially hollow shank for easier installation. They are ideal for appliances, electronics, and some automotive uses that require permanent fasteners.
- Large diameter heads that distribute load and reduce strain on surrounding material
- Low-profile domed heads for a smooth finish that is unlikely to cause snags
- Partially hollow shanks for permanent installation with minimal force
Semi-tubular rivets are a cost-effective option for large-scale use. They require less materials than solid rivets, which helps to minimize production costs. Additionally, they are simple and quick to install, which can help keep labor costs down.
Our Capabilities
Valley Fastener works with each client to find a design that meets specific project needs, including rivet composition, size, and profile. We manufacture custom truss head rivets for the automotive, manufacturing, electronics, marine, and defense industries.
Materials
We manufacture truss head semi-tubular rivets in aluminum, steel, and stainless steel. We can also create custom rivets in copper, brass, and other alloys to meet different project requirements. Each material offers unique benefits.
Steel alloys offer strength and hardness. To accommodate environmental conditions, we can finish them with oil, galvanizing, or zinc plating.
Stainless steel is also very durable and has excellent mechanical properties. It also provides an attractive appearance, which is often a concern with truss-head semi-tubular rivets.
Aluminum is lightweight and resists corrosion. It is a good choice for rivets used in electronics and appliances.
Sizing
Our rivets are available in a wide range of sizes for industrial and manufacturing applications. We offer semi-tubular rivets with shank diameters starting at 0.058 inches and up to 0.31 inches. Lengths start at 1/16 of an inch and go up incrementally depending on the chosen shank diameter.
