Load Spreading Tri Fold Aluminium Rivet.
Trifolds are a split tail rivet designed for applications involving insulated panels, composites, and other low-strength material in caravans, commercial vehicles, mobile homes, recreational vehicles, refrigeration etc. Made of aluminium, the Tri-Fold design allows for a wide variation in material thickness. One rivet can often be used to replace a few rivets: thereby reducing inventory and simplifying stock control.
Tri Fold function well in materials where other rivets fail. The folded legs individually conform to curved surfaces enabling fastening onto pipes, corrugated sheets, and other challenging applications. Oversized or elongated holes can be adequately covered by the large leg formation to resist pull through under stress in high tension-load applications.
