Pipe Rivets

Most hollow rivets are drawn from sheet metal. Pipe rivets are different—they're made from actual metal tube stock, cut to length and finished. At Nuote Metals, we make these for applications that need a heavier wall or a more substantial feel than standard drawn hollow rivets.

A pipe rivet is exactly what it sounds like: a short piece of metal tubing, usually with one end slightly flared or headed. You insert it through a hole and set it by flaring the plain end, creating a permanent, hollow fastener. Because they start as tube stock, pipe rivets have uniform wall thickness and consistent inside diameter.

We make pipe rivets from materials like brass, copper, aluminum, and steel. The tubing gives them strength while keeping them lightweight. They're used in leatherwork, saddlery, marine trim, electrical assemblies, and decorative hardware—anywhere you want a clean, hollow rivet with a bit more heft than a standard eyelet.

The beauty of pipe rivets is their versatility. Cut them to any length, flare them to any diameter. They set with simple hand tools or presses, and the hollow center can be used for wiring, lacing, or just to reduce weight.

If you need hollow rivets with the strength and feel of real tubing, our pipe rivets are made for you. At Nuote Metals, we cut and finish them to your specs. Working on something that needs a substantial hollow fastener? Pipe rivets deliver.
