Au-ve-co Products 11672 Plastic Panel Rivet 5mm

Product Description

The AU-VE-CO PRODUCTS 11672 is a plastic push-in panel rivet designed for securing panels, trim pieces, and lightweight assemblies where a clean, tool-free fastening solution is needed. Rated for a maximum hole diameter of 5mm and featuring a 7/8-inch head diameter, this white plastic rivet holds material in place by expanding behind the panel face when seated. It is lightweight at 0.01 pounds per unit and is commonly installed by HVAC technicians, automotive service professionals, and equipment installers working on sheet panels, access doors, and enclosure covers.

This panel rivet is suited for residential and light commercial applications where plastic fasteners are specified to prevent corrosion or reduce weight. Typical use cases include securing HVAC cabinet panels, fan shrouds, trim rings, and plastic enclosure covers. The 5mm hole diameter and 5mm material thickness specification make it compatible with standard pre-drilled panel openings found across a wide range of light-duty equipment assemblies.

Key Features

• Maximum hole diameter of 5mm for precise fitment in pre-drilled panels
• 7/8-inch head diameter provides a wide bearing surface to distribute load across the panel face
• White plastic construction resists corrosion and eliminates galvanic concerns on metal panels
• Push-in design allows fast installation without specialized tools
• Lightweight at 0.01 pounds per unit, suitable for weight-sensitive assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose plastic panel rivet for use in HVAC cabinets, equipment enclosures, and light-duty panel assemblies requiring a 5mm mounting hole.

Installation Notes

Panel rivets are typically installed by hand or with a flat-faced push tool. Confirm hole diameter matches the 5mm specification before installation, as oversized holes will reduce retention force. No power tools are required for standard installation. Remove any burrs from drilled holes prior to seating the rivet to prevent cracking the plastic head.
