The L5067 expansion rivet from Hager is a plastic fastening element for secure and permanent mounting in various substrates. It serves as an alternative to metallic fastening elements and is particularly used in applications where the avoidance of corrosion or electrical conductivity is required. The product is designed as a drive rivet and enables quick installation through its expansion function, which generates high holding force during mounting. The fastening is achieved via a hole diameter of 6 mm, with a clamping range between 3 and 8 mm. The expansion rivet is grey in colour and made of polyoxymethylene (POM), a thermoplastic known for its high strength and chemical resistance.

Applications

The expansion rivet is suitable for fastening in materials requiring a secure and corrosion-free connection. Typical applications include mounting cable ducts, wiring distributors or other installation components in electrical and IT environments. Since the product is made of plastic, the risk of electrochemical corrosion or unintended electrical conductivity is eliminated. This makes it particularly suitable for environments where metallic fasteners are not recommended, for example in damp or aggressive environments.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The expansion function of the rivet ensures that the element deforms when inserted into the hole and adapts to the substrate, creating a secure connection that guarantees permanent fastening. The drive rivet design means the element is driven in with a hammer. The clamping range of 3 to 8 mm allows use in materials of varying thickness, with a maximum clamping thickness of 8 mm. The hole size of 6 mm is standardised and compatible with common drilling tools.

Technology Explained Simply

The material polyoxymethylene (POM) is a high-quality plastic suitable for its mechanical strength, heat resistance and abrasion resistance. It is halogen-free, meaning that no toxic halogen compounds are released in the event of thermal decomposition. The grey colour of the expansion rivet is a standard version that blends visually in many installation situations. The expansion function ensures that the element cannot be removed after installation, as disassembly is not intended.

Compatibility and Accessories

The expansion rivet is designed for use in materials with a thickness between 3 and 8 mm. It is specifically designed for fastening installation components such as cable ducts or wiring distributors. The hole size of 6 mm is compatible with standard drills and allows for easy installation.

Installation and Mounting

Installation is performed by drilling a hole with a diameter of 6 mm in the material to be fastened. The expansion rivet is then inserted into the hole and driven in with a hammer. The expansion function causes the element to deform within the hole and create a secure connection. Installation is quick and requires no additional tools or chemicals. Disassembly is not possible, as the element becomes firmly anchored in the material after installation.

Operational Advantages

Using the expansion rivet offers several advantages: Avoiding corrosion and electrical conductivity protects the installation and increases safety. The high holding force ensures a durable fastening that remains secure even under load. Quick installation reduces installation time, and the use of plastic minimises the weight of the fastening elements. The product is RoHS-compliant and free of REACh SVHC, ensuring environmental compatibility and compliance with European standards.
