Au-ve-co Products 11349 Nylon Panel Rivet Ratchet Shank

Product Description

The AU-VE-CO PRODUCTS 11349 is a nylon panel rivet designed for securing panels, trim, and lightweight assemblies in place without metal fasteners. The ratchet shank design locks into the mounting hole on insertion, eliminating the need for tools or additional hardware. Made from black nylon, this rivet fits a 0.25 inch hole diameter and features a 0.75 inch head diameter that distributes clamping load across the panel surface. The 11/16 inch length under the head suits common panel thicknesses found in HVAC equipment enclosures, electrical panels, and similar trade applications. Installation is fast and requires no special tools beyond hand pressure.

This rivet is suited for residential and light commercial applications where panels, access doors, shrouds, or trim pieces require a clean, rattle-resistant fastener. Common install scenarios include securing HVAC cabinet panels, electrical enclosure covers, and equipment housings where repeated service access is expected. The ratchet shank holds firmly under vibration without backing out.

Installation Notes

Panel rivets of this type are installed by hand or with light thumb pressure - no crimping tool or driver is required. Power down or de-energize any equipment before servicing panels or enclosures per applicable NEC or local electrical codes. Inspect the mounting hole for cracks or deformation before inserting the rivet, as oversized holes will reduce retention force. Do not use excessive force or impact tools, which can fracture the nylon shank.
