SolarGrip® – The solar fastener • DIBt approval no. Z-14.1-4 and Z-14.1-537 (for 670 1011 only Z-14.1-537) • Matching grip range for many solar applications • Ideal for working on trapezoid panel roofs • SolarSeal coating for 4,8 mm rivets • Riveting of sponge rubber or EPDM washers possible • Function documentation available on request at extra cost SolarGrip® – The basic characteristics • Large grip range coverage with a single blind rivet • Wide closing head • Outstanding hole fi lling capability • Compact closing head • For use with all GESIPA® setting tools

A wide grip range: A single PolyGrip® blind rivet can replace to up to fi ve different dimensions of DIN standard blind rivets. • Outstanding hole fi lling capability: The rivet body expands radially during the setting process and compensates hole tolerances, centering deviations and differences in diameter, thus always building up a playfree and tight joint. • Safe rest mandrel locking: PolyGrip® blind rivets neither generate rattling noises due to free moving rest mandrels nor do they allow the risk of loss of the rest mandrel. • Splash waterproof are the PolyGrip® blind rivets under certain conditions too. Hole fi lling and rest mandrel locking make of them a real alternative to closed end rivets when it is essential to prevent water fl owing through the whole joint and not only through the rivet body. • A large closing head: for a high tensile and unbuttoning resistance.

A closed end rivet The rivet body of the GESIPA CAP ® blind rivet is absolutely air and watertight. Liquids cannot seep through, could however seep around the set rivet, if the setting hole is too large. Therefore great care must be brought to fullfi lling the hole tolerances. The GESIPA CAP ® blind rivet – The structure For technical reasons, the rivet mandrel of the GESIPA CAP ® blind rivet must be fi xed in the rivet body. However this means that the rivet body can only deform slightly during the setting process. As a result, the cap blind rivet only has marginal hole fi lling capability. However this is necessary to be able to compensate large bore-hole tolerances. The GESIPA CAP ® blind rivet – Tight connections with care The above-mentioned technical situations make careful preparation of the application imperative. The hole diameter should be as tight as possible to ensure a fl awless function in the application for a long period.
