How to use pop rivet on gutters.

Step 3 use clamps while drilling. You will first want to lay out your rivets onto the gutters. When installing metal gutters the process involves overlapping the two pieces and riveting them together. Assuming any substitutes should also be aluminum.

Temporarily secure these rivets down with clamps. There weren t any dimensions listed but common sense says they would only need to be around 1 8 x 1 4. 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. I m looking to buy pop rivets to do some gutter replacements but the smallest advertised for gutter work pack available was a 100pk.

After you have measured the rivets and chosen your drill bit to use don t start drilling quite yet. If the gutter continues around a corner cut the appropriate angle typically 45 degrees on that end.
