Au-ve-co Products 15970 Nylon Panel Rivet 1/4 in

Product Description

The AU-VE-CO PRODUCTS 15970 is a nylon panel rivet with a ratchet shank designed for fast, tool-free fastening of panels, trim, and light-duty components. The ratchet shank design locks into place upon insertion, eliminating the need for separate hardware. Molded from nylon, the rivet resists corrosion and is suited for environments where metal fasteners may cause galvanic issues or surface damage. The 15970 fits a 0.25 inch hole diameter and measures 0.75 inches in length under the head. These rivets are sold in minimum order quantities of 25 units and are a stock item for techs who regularly service panels, housings, or equipment enclosures.

Panel rivets of this type are commonly used in HVAC equipment housings, electrical enclosures, automotive interior panels, and appliance trim assemblies. They are a standard fastener for any application requiring a lightweight, corrosion-resistant push-in retainer. The white nylon construction blends with light-colored panels and is appropriate for both residential and light commercial service work where a clean finished appearance is needed alongside reliable mechanical retention.

Installation Notes

Insert the rivet shank into a prepared 0.25 inch diameter hole and apply firm hand pressure until the ratchet shank engages and the head seats flush against the panel surface. No special tools are required for installation. To remove, use a small flathead screwdriver or panel removal tool to release the shank without damaging the surrounding material. Always confirm panel material compatibility and hole diameter before installation to ensure a secure fit.
