The GB730 is a pneumatic-hydraulic tool designed specifically for the efficient installation of a wide range of
blind rivets and lockbolts. It weighs 5 lbs. and can be operated in any position with one hand. It has a .500"
rivet setting stroke and a rated pull load of 4000 pounds with 90 psi air pressure at the air inlet.
The GB730 riveter operates on a wide range of air pressure, with 90 to 100 psi providing the maximum
efficiency. At 90 psi. air pressure, the GB730 does not exceed 81.5 db (A) and consumes 3.9 cfm at 20 cycles
per minute.
The air inlet is provided with 1/4-18 female pipe threads for accepting the user's air hose fitting.
Nose Assemblies that were designed for the Model 352 Installation Tool mount directly on the GB730 without
the use of an adapter.
