Countersunk heads
Are you using a Tubtara® blind rivet nut with a countersunk head? Always countersink at 90° so that the head of the installed Tubtara® protrudes about 0.1 mm above your workpiece. This ensures direct contact with the assembled component.
Don’t have the possibility to countersink? Use a low profile head.
Setting dangers
- Oversized hole (can affect setting & torque-to-turn)
- Burr under the hole (can impact grip range)
- Oiled/dirty hole (can affect torque-to-turn)
- Incorrect hole shape for countersunk head (tightening bolt will loosen the Tubtara® blind fastener)
