The article L5085 from Hager is a rivet for fastening, specifically designed for use in cable management systems and cable ducts. As a blind rivet, it provides secure and permanent anchoring of components in materials with a thickness of 2 to 5 mm. The fastening is achieved via a drill hole of 4 mm, with the rivet itself made of polyoxymethylene (POM), a thermoplastic material known for its high strength and chemical resistance. The colour of the rivet is grey, allowing it to blend visually into typical installation environments. The construction enables a firm connection that cannot be disassembled after installation, as disassembly is not possible according to the manufacturer's information.

Rivet is the technical term for this fastening element, which changes shape when struck with a hammer or a special tool and secures itself in the drill hole. The drill hole diameter of 4 mm is standardized and compatible with common drilling tools used in electrical and installation work. The clamping range of 2 to 5 mm allows fastening to substrates of varying thicknesses, such as metal sheets, plastic panels, or other components used in electrical installations. The material strength of the POM ensures high mechanical load capacity and resistance to wear and chemical influences.

Halogen-free is a key property that makes the product suitable for use in indoor environments and installations with high safety requirements. In the event of a fire, no toxic, halogen-containing smoke gases are released, improving fire behaviour characteristics. Compliance with RoHS and REACh-SVHC free approval underscores environmental compatibility and adherence to European regulations for electrical and electronic equipment.

The use of the rivet L5085 typically occurs during the installation of cable ducts, cable trays, or other installation components where quick, tool-assisted fastening is required. Installation requires drilling a hole in the substrate and then striking the rivet with a hammer or a special blind rivet tool. The fastening is permanent and not reusable, as the rivet changes shape upon installation and cannot be removed.

Compatibility is ensured for all applications where a 4 mm drill hole and material thickness between 2 and 5 mm are present. The product is specifically designed for use in cable duct accessory systems, as commonly used in electrical installations. No special accessories or tools are required beyond the drilling device and striking tool, which are generally available in an installer’s tool kit.

The use of the rivet L5085 provides a reliable and quick fastening solution in operation, requiring no additional mounting aids. The material strength and halogen-free composition increase the safety and service life of the installation. The grey colour ensures unobtrusive integration into technical environments. The fastening is permanent and not reusable, which must be considered during installation planning.

Functions and equipment in detail include the specific design as a blind rivet, which secures itself in the drill hole by being struck. The choice of POM material ensures high mechanical load capacity and resistance to wear. The standard grey colour matches most installation systems. The halogen-free specification refers to the chemical composition of the material, which contains no halogen compounds.

Technology explained simply means that the rivet changes shape when struck and secures itself in the drill hole. The clamping thickness of 2 to 5 mm allows fastening to various material thicknesses. The material strength of the POM ensures a durable connection. The halogen-free composition improves fire behaviour characteristics.

Compatibility and accessories refers to use in cable duct accessory systems where a 4 mm drill hole and material thickness of 2 to 5 mm are present. No special accessories are required beyond the drilling device and striking tool.

Installation and mounting is performed by drilling a 4 mm hole in the substrate and then striking the rivet with a hammer or blind rivet tool. The fastening is permanent and not reusable.

Operational advantages include quick and secure installation, high mechanical load capacity, and halogen-free composition, which enhances safety. The grey colour ensures unobtrusive integration into technical environments.
