Introduction
Waterproof lantern rivets feature an EPDM waterproof Blind Rivet and a sealed lock core structure, creating a 100% watertight fastener that completely resolves the common issues of water seepage, corrosion, and loosening in outdoor lighting fixtures and enclosures. The three-lobe lantern rivet design is ideal for thin sheets and brittle materials, allowing for quick single-sided installation. It provides long-lasting protection against rain and moisture while ensuring both strength and sealing. Compatible with common sizes ranging from 13/64“ to 5/16” to 1/4", It is heavy-duty fastening.it is a reliable solution for outdoor waterproof riveting.
Features
Waterproof Sealing: Comes with a waterproof gasket, making it suitable for outdoor and humid environments. The gasket deforms under the pressure of the rivet, effectively sealing any leaks around the hole.
Protects Fragile Materials: Features a three-lobed design with a large contact surface that prevents cracking of plastic, glass, acrylic, and fiberboard.
Shock and Shear Resistance: Mechanical locking structure provides high tensile strength, shear resistance, and resistance to loosening and vibration.
Wide Riveting Range: A single size accommodates significant thickness variations and fits large or irregular holes.
Quick Installation: Single-sided installation; can be completed using a rivet gun.
We offer a full range of Tri-firm Blind Rivet with diameters ranging from 3/16” to 5/16” to meet the needs of materials of varying thicknesses. The 5/16“ size is the highest-load-bearing specification among waterproof lantern rivets. For large-scale metal roofing or high-strength industrial connections, the 5/16” size with EPDM, delivers excellent tensile strength and waterproofing performance.You can see below YUKE specification:

Application
Metal Roofing Systems: Fastening of color-coated steel tiles and aluminum-magnesium-manganese panels
Photovoltaic Mounting: Waterproofing for roof-mounted installations involving drilling
Automotive Manufacturing: Joining plastic interior components or lightweight metal parts
Plastics and Composites: Due to the material of Tri-firm blind rivet, they can be used on plastic materials without causing them to crack easily.
Installation
Tool Selection: We recommend using a standard electric or pneumatic rivet gun. For larger sizes such as 5/16", we recommend ordering a custom-made rivet gun.
Hole Diameter Matching: The choice of hole diameter has a certain impact on waterproofing performance.
Pressure Control: Ensure that the dome rivet is fully severed and that the washer is properly compressed.
