METAL-TO-METAL DRIVE PINS (PINGRIP)

Carly Purcell,

PINGRIP drive pins eliminates the need for special tools or special skills. Pingrip drive pins does the job of a conventional rivet-faster, easier, safer, with real economies in time and labor. Aluminum alloy Pingrip body is assembled with a stainless steel, knurled drive pin. When the pin is driven flush with the head, the slotted shank expands and grips firmly.   Simultaneously, the knurled pin locks itself in position. Pingrip displays extraordinary performance when subjected to shear loads, tension and vibration.

Pingrip drive pins are used, with wide industrial acceptance, for blind or limited access applications in the assembly and repair of truck, trailer, bus and auto bodies; porcelain panel construction; the fabrication of tubular metal furniture, duct work, cabinets, displays, fire doors; the mounting of store fronts, nameplates, hinges, ornaments, metal trim. Practical money-saving applications for Pingrip actually number into the hundreds. The effective fastening range of Pingrips makes it possible to use a single size for varying thicknesses of work.

The effective fastening range of drive pins makes it possible to use a single size for varying thicknesses of work.

SPECIAL NOTES:

■ Grip length required equals the combined thickness of materials to be fastened.

■ Materials: Rivet body of aluminum allow 2117 Td. Drive pin of stainless steel.

HOW TO ORDER

  1. Determine total thickness of material to be joined.
  2. Select head style and rivet diameter desired. Referring to specification that corresponds to rivet type and diameter selected, apply “grip” to “min-max” column under grip length.
  3. Application of “grip” to “min-max” column will indicate grip length and catalog number of rivet to be ordered.
  4. Order rivet by specifying complete· catalog number.

HOW TO USE FOR HOLLOW APPLICATION

1. Insert drive pin in pre-drilled hole of recommended diameter in materials to be joined.

2. Use ordinary hammer to drive pin flush with head.

3. Slotted shank expands to form permanent bond.

HOW TO USE FOR SOLID APPLICATION

1. In wood, the shank embeds itself in the sides of the hole. In masonry, it wedges against the sides.

2. When removal of rivet and fixture must be considered, drill installation hole deeper than required.

3. To required hole depth add thickness of rivet head and material to be fastened.
