What is a Pull-Thru (PT) Rivet?

The Pull-Thru (PT) rivet is a steel countersunk blind fastener specifically engineered to achieve a “double flush” finish on both sides of the application.

✅ Flush on the outer surface
✅ Flush on the inner surface
✅ Minimal to zero protrusion
This makes it ideal for server blade assemblies, where components must slide smoothly without interference.

📌 Typical Applications
🔹Server blade assemblies
🔹Data center chassis systems
🔹Sliding electronic enclosures
🔹Precision sheet metal structure

💡 Final Thought

As server designs become more compact and performance-driven, fastening solutions must evolve too. The PT rivet delivers the precision, flushness, and efficiency modern assemblies demand.
