Dimensions are nominal values from the governing standard. Confirm the tolerance class for your application before ordering.

Applications & Industries

The sectors that buy Plastic Push Rivets, and the duty each one buys them for. Stocked from 5.0 to 10.0 (nominal diameter).

Industries that specify Plastic Push Rivets

Automotive trim Bumpers, arch liners, undertrays and splash guards.
Appliance & enclosure panels Covers removed for service and refitted.
Signage & display Non-marking fixings on painted panels.
Transport & bodywork Trailer, bus and van panels joined blind from one side.
Signage & cladding Fast, vibration-resistant fixing of thin material.
Consumer goods & toys Riveted pivots and permanent light assemblies.

Typical applications

no corrosion and no marking of a painted panel
holding trim and liners that are removed for service
permanent joints in thin sheet where a threaded fastener would loosen
blind fixing where only one side can be reached
riveted pivots that must stay tight but still turn

Service conditions to specify against

Marine and coastal: Available in A4 (316) stainless for chloride exposure — coastal structures, pool halls, water treatment and deck hardware, where A2 will eventually pit.
Temperature ceiling: The polymer feature sets the limit, not the steel: nylon softens above roughly 120 °C, so an all-metal locking type is the correct choice on hot assemblies.

Where to use something else

Panel retention only — not a structural fastener.
Not for a joint that has to come apart in service — removal means drilling the rivet out.

Plastic Push Rivets (Trim Clips) conform to Trade series (nylon push rivet). As rivets, they are specified by the dimensions in the table below; this page also covers materials, finishes and typical uses.

What Are Plastic Push Rivets (Trim Clips)?

Plastic Push Rivets (Trim Clips) are rivets defined by Trade series (nylon push rivet). They are selected by nominal diameter and the dimensional characteristics shown below, and are available in a range of materials and finishes to suit the application and environment.

Materials & Finishes

Common materials include carbon steel (typically zinc plated or hot-dip galvanized), hardened or case-hardened steel where wear matters, and stainless steel A2 (304) or A4 (316) for corrosion resistance. Specify the material, hardness where relevant, and the surface finish appropriate to your application and environment.

Specification Guides

Each size, material and standard of Plastic Push Rivets (Trim Clips) has its own reference page with the figures for that one configuration.

Inside the plant

Manufactured in our own plant

This part is cold-formed, threaded, heat-treated and finished in-house. The stages below are where its class and finish are actually decided.

01

Cold heading

Wire rod is drawn to size and cold-formed into blanks. Forming rather than cutting keeps the grain flow continuous around the head, which is where a bolt is most likely to fail.

Head dimensions and under-head radius checked at set-up and per shift.
02

Thread rolling

Threads are rolled between hardened dies rather than cut. Rolled threads are stronger in fatigue than cut threads and hold pitch and flank angle far more consistently across a batch.

Go / no-go ring gauges to ISO 965 tolerance class 6g.
03

Heat treatment

Quench-and-temper brings carbon and alloy steel to the property class ordered — 8.8, 10.9 or 12.9 — with the furnace charge tracked so a finished lot can be traced back to it.

Core hardness and tensile tested per lot to ISO 898-1.
04

Surface treatment

Zinc, zinc-nickel, hot-dip galvanizing, black oxide, phosphate and Dacromet, selected against the service environment rather than against the price list.

Coating thickness and neutral salt spray hours to ISO 9227.
