Au-ve-co Products 11797 Plastic Panel Rivet

Product Description

The AU-VE-CO PRODUCTS 11797 is a plastic panel rivet used to fasten and secure panels in HVAC, refrigeration, and light sheet-metal assemblies. Constructed entirely from plastic, it provides a lightweight, corrosion-resistant fastening solution for interior panel retention where metal fasteners are not required. This rivet is a common component in service and maintenance kits used by HVAC technicians and appliance service professionals who need reliable, low-profile panel attachment hardware.

The 11797 plastic panel rivet is suited for use in residential and light commercial HVAC equipment, including air handlers, furnace cabinets, and equipment enclosures where panels must be secured quickly during installation or reassembly. Its push-in design makes it practical in tight spaces and high-volume service situations where speed of installation matters.

Key Features

• Full plastic construction resists corrosion in humid or condensate-prone environments
• Push-in panel rivet design allows fast, tool-free or minimal-tool installation
• Lightweight at 0.01 pounds, reducing overall panel assembly weight
• Suitable for interior panel retention in HVAC cabinets and equipment enclosures

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement panel fastener for residential and light commercial HVAC equipment cabinets and sheet-metal panel assemblies.

Installation Notes

Panel rivets of this type are installed by HVAC technicians and sheet-metal mechanics during equipment service or cabinet reassembly. Power down all equipment before removing or replacing panel fasteners. A panel-removal tool or flat pry tool may be used to remove existing rivets without damaging surrounding panel material. Follow manufacturer service documentation for correct fastener placement and panel alignment before securing.
