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

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.
