How to use pop rivet on gutters.

There weren t any dimensions listed but common sense says they would only need to be around 1 8 x 1 4. I m looking to buy pop rivets to do some gutter replacements but the smallest advertised for gutter work pack available was a 100pk. When installing metal gutters the process involves overlapping the two pieces and riveting them together. Step 3 use clamps while drilling.

Pvc or vinyl gutters are designed to snap together easily but may require the use of gaskets or a sealant to ensure a waterproof connection. If the run requires two sections of gutter overlap them by 8 inches and use a 3 8 inch long self tapping stainless steel screws or pop rivets in two rows of four each to join them. After you have measured the rivets and chosen your drill bit to use don t start drilling quite yet. You will first want to lay out your rivets onto the gutters.

If the gutter continues around a corner cut the appropriate angle typically 45 degrees on that end. I d probably only need 20 at the most short span.
