Au-ve-co Products 15670 Nylon Panel Rivet Ratchet Shank

Product Description

The AU-VE-CO PRODUCTS 15670 is a nylon panel rivet featuring a ratchet shank design for tool-free, push-in fastening of panels, trim pieces, and light-duty assemblies. Molded from white nylon, this rivet measures 3/4 inches in length under the head with a 1/2 inch head diameter. The ratchet shank engages progressively as it is pushed through aligned holes, locking components together without the need for a separate retaining clip or fastener tool. At 0.01 pounds, it is a lightweight fastening solution suited for HVAC cabinet panels, electrical enclosures, and similar thin-panel applications in both residential and commercial settings.

This panel rivet is used wherever two panels or sheet components need to be joined quickly and securely. Typical applications include HVAC unit cabinet assembly, access panel retention, electrical box trim attachment, and general sheet panel fastening. The ratchet shank allows single-side installation, making it practical in locations where rear access is limited. HVAC technicians, electricians, and sheet metal workers commonly use this fastener during equipment assembly, service panel reinstallation, and field repair work.

Key Features

• Ratchet shank design allows push-in installation without special tooling
• Nylon construction resists corrosion and is non-conductive
• White color finish for visibility and clean appearance on light-colored panels
• 3/4 inch length under head accommodates standard panel stacking thicknesses
• 1/2 inch head diameter provides adequate bearing surface to retain thin panel material

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style panel fastener for use in standard panel rivet applications requiring a ratchet shank nylon rivet with a 1/2 inch head diameter and 3/4 inch shank length.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no special tools - align the rivet through the panel holes and press firmly until the ratchet shank seats and locks. Power down or de-energize any equipment before fastening panels on live electrical or HVAC enclosures. Ensure hole diameter in the panel material matches the specified shank size for a secure fit. Removal typically requires a flat tool to release the ratchet engagement from the rear side.
