DESCRIPTION

 

 

 

WARNING

The balance of this tool is designed for horizontal use and is not ergonomically best 

suited for all applications. Gage Bilt will be pleased to advise for your specific 
application.  

 

The GB722 is a pneumatic-hydraulic tool designed specifically for the efficient installation of a wide range 
of  blind  rivets.  It  weighs  5.50  lbs.  (2.49  kg)  and  can  be  operated  in  any  position  with  one  hand.  It  has 
a .590"  (15.0 mm)  rivet  setting  stroke  and  a rated pull load of  4700 lbs  (20.91  kN) with 90 psi  (6.2 bar)  air 
pressure at the air inlet. 

 

The  GB722  riveter  operates  on  a wide  range of  air  pressure, with  90 to  100 psi  (6.2-6.9  bar)  providing the 
maximum efficiency. At 90 psi. (6.2 bar) air pressure, the GB722 does not exceed 81.5 dB (A) and consumes 
3 cfm at 20 cycles a minute. 

 

The air inlet is provided with 1/4-18 female pipe threads to accept the users air hose fitting. 

 

NOSE ASSEMBLIES ARE NOT FURNISHED WITH TOOL AND MUST BE ORDERED SEPARATELY. 

 

MAINTENANCE 

 

WARNING:

 

Maintenance personnel 

MUST

 

read and understand all warnings and cautions. 

 

WARNING

Disconnect tool from its power source before performing maintenance. 

 

WARNING

Excessive contact with hydraulic oil and lubricants should be avoided.  

 

WARNING:  

Dispose of Hydraulic Oil in accordance with applicable regulations. 

 

 

 

 

WARNING:  

Read MSDS documents for all applicable materials.  

 

The performance of any tool depends upon good maintenance practices. Following these minimal 
requirements for service and care will extend the life of your tool. 
  *Only use an air supply set at 90-100 psi. (6.2-6.9 bar) equipped with a filter-regulator to prevent wear. 
  *The tool will eventually lose some hydraulic oil. Keep the hydraulic system full (only use Dexron III, or 

equivalent) and free of air by using the air bleeder assy (704153) on a regular basis. 

  *Proper care by operator is necessary in maintaining full productivity and reducing downtime. Read all 

applicable tool manuals and nose assembly data sheets prior to operating tools. 

  

*Keep nose assemblies, especially jaws, clean and free of chips and debris. 

*All Screwed End Caps, Base Covers, Air Fittings, Actuators, Screws and Nose Assemblies are to be 

examined at the end of each working shift to check that they are secure. 

*Check daily all Hoses, Couplings, and Tools for damage or air/hydraulic leaks. Tighten or replace (if necessary). 

  *For a complete overhaul, tool kit GB704TK is recommended.
