A nut and bolt joint may considered temporary fastening since
the parts can easily separated required unscrewing the nut and
removing the bolt.

Joining metals. Metals may welded,
brazed soldered, but the most popular method on-site joining met-

a clearance hole for the rivet.
Special rivets are used with hand tool, shown Fig. 14.33.Electrical installations and wiring systems

Joining materials
Plastic can joined with appropriate solvent.34
Metal joining with pop rivets. The stem the rivet pushed into the nose
bush the riveter until the alloy sleeve the rivet flush with the nose
bush (a). release the broken-
off stem piece, the nose bush turned upwards and the handles opened
sharply. The stem will fall out and discarded (d).34. rivet permanent fastening since the parts riveted
together cannot easily separated. 14.
Thin sheet material such trunking often joined using pop riveter. The nut tightened secure the joint.
Two pieces metal joined bolt and nut and machine screw and
nut are shown Fig. The alloy sleeve compressed and the rivet stem will break
off when the rivet set and the joint complete (c). When
joining trunking cable trays, round head machine screw should be
used with the head inside reduce the risk damage cables being
drawn into the trunking tray
