Au-ve-co Products 14005 Blind Rivet Flange Head Nylon

Product Description

The AU-VE-CO PRODUCTS 14005 is a flange-head blind rivet constructed entirely from nylon - both body and mandrel. It is designed for applications where metal rivets would cause corrosion, electrical conductivity issues, or surface damage. The rivet accommodates a grip range of 1/8 inch to 5/32 inch and requires a 3/16-inch hole diameter. The flange head provides a larger bearing surface to distribute clamping load across the material face. Installers in HVAC, electrical, and light-duty assembly work reach for this rivet when joining plastic panels, thin sheet materials, or non-metallic substrates where a standard pop rivet would be inappropriate.

This rivet is suited for light-duty fastening tasks in residential and commercial service work. Common applications include securing plastic enclosure covers, duct liners, electrical panel trim, and similar non-structural assemblies. The all-nylon construction makes it a practical choice in environments with moisture exposure or where metal contact must be avoided. It is installed with a standard rivet tool capable of handling 3/16-inch mandrels. The black color finish allows it to blend into dark substrates without additional treatment.

Key Features

• All-nylon body and mandrel construction - corrosion-resistant and non-conductive
• Flange head design increases bearing surface and reduces pull-through on soft materials
• Grip range of 1/8 inch to 5/32 inch suits a variety of panel thicknesses
• Requires a 3/16-inch hole diameter - compatible with standard rivet tooling
• Black color finish for low-visibility installations on dark panels or enclosures
• Lightweight at 0.01 pounds per unit - suitable for weight-sensitive assemblies

Compatibility

Designed for use in light-duty fastening applications requiring a non-metallic blind rivet with a flange head profile and a 3/16-inch hole diameter. Fits standard manual and pneumatic rivet tools configured for 3/16-inch mandrels.

Installation Notes

Installation does not require electrical isolation or gas shutoff. Drill or confirm the hole to exactly 3/16 inch before setting the rivet - undersized holes will resist seating and may crack the nylon body. Insert the rivet fully into the hole before actuating the rivet tool, and do not over-pull, as nylon mandrels have lower shear resistance than steel. This fastener is not rated for structural or load-bearing applications.
