When it comes to reliable, permanent fastening solutions, semi-tubular rivets remain a top choice across multiple industries. These rivets are lightweight, cost-effective, and easy to install—making them ideal for applications where strength, precision, and consistency matter.
At G-Fast, we supply high-performance USA-made semi-tubular rivets, including stainless steel, brass, miniature semi-tubular rivets, and shoulder rivets. We serve manufacturers and fabricators across New York, New Jersey, Chicago, and the entire United States, offering top-quality fasteners that meet industry standards.
What Are Semi-Tubular Rivets?
Semi-tubular rivets, also known as hollow rivets, feature a partially hollow shank with a small hole at the tip. When installed, the hollow portion flares out to hold two materials together, requiring less force than solid rivets.
Advantages:
-
Quick installation with minimal force
-
Lower cost than threaded fasteners
-
Strong and reliable joints
-
Suitable for automation
These rivets are widely used in applications like automotive components, leather goods, electronics, lighting fixtures, and furniture.
Stainless Steel Semi-Tubular Rivets – For Corrosion Resistance
Stainless steel semi-tubular rivets are ideal for environments where moisture, chemicals, or exposure to the elements is a concern. These rivets provide both durability and corrosion resistance, extending the lifespan of your assemblies.
Applications include:
-
Outdoor lighting systems
-
Marine and boating equipment
-
Medical instruments
-
Food processing machinery

Brass Semi-Tubular Rivets – For Electrical and Decorative Use
