Au-ve-co Products 15490 Nylon Panel Rivet 9/32 in

Product Description

The AU-VE-CO PRODUCTS 15490 is a nylon panel rivet designed for securing panels, trim, and interior components in place through pre-drilled mounting holes. With a maximum hole diameter of 0.281 inches (9/32 inches) and a head diameter of 0.709 inches, this push-in fastener provides a clean, flush-fitting hold without metal hardware. The length under head measures 2-3/16 inches, accommodating material thicknesses up to 15/64 inches. Molded from nylon in black, it resists corrosion and is lightweight. HVAC technicians, auto trim installers, and panel fabricators commonly use this type of rivet for duct covers, access panels, and equipment enclosures.

This panel rivet is suited for light-duty fastening applications where a tool-free or low-force push-in installation is appropriate. Common uses include securing plastic or sheet-metal panels on HVAC equipment cabinets, electrical enclosures, and similar assemblies where a clean exterior finish is required. The black nylon construction blends with dark panel surfaces and eliminates the need for separate grommets or washers in many standard installations.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no special tools in most applications - align the rivet shank with the pre-drilled hole and apply firm, even pressure until the retention tabs seat fully. Ensure the panel surfaces are clean and free of burrs before insertion to avoid deforming the nylon shank. Power down any associated equipment before accessing panels on live HVAC or electrical enclosures. Do not exceed the rated material thickness to maintain proper retention force.
