Au-ve-co Products 17227 Push Mount Blind Rivet

Product Description

The AU-VE-CO PRODUCTS 17227 is a push mount blind rivet designed for fast, tool-free panel fastening in HVAC, electrical, and general trade applications. The rivet features a flat head profile, a nylon body, and a nylon mandrel, making it suitable for non-corrosive, lightweight fastening where metal rivets are not needed. With a maximum grip of 0.197 inches and a maximum hole diameter of 5.00 mm, the 17227 installs by pushing the body through a pre-drilled or punched hole until the head seats flush against the panel surface. Black color provides a clean, finished appearance in visible assemblies.

This rivet is commonly used in residential and light commercial HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosures, and sheet metal assemblies where a removable or semi-permanent plastic fastener is preferred. The push mount design eliminates the need for a rivet gun or setting tool, allowing technicians to install fasteners quickly during equipment assembly or service calls. It is appropriate wherever a flat-head, flush-seating plastic rivet is specified.

Key Features

• Push mount installation requires no rivet gun or special setting tool
• Flat head seats flush with the panel surface for a clean finish
• Full nylon body and mandrel resist corrosion in damp or chemically active environments
• Maximum grip of 0.197 inches accommodates typical sheet metal panel thicknesses
• Maximum hole diameter of 5.00 mm for consistent fitment in standard punched holes
• Black color suits visible panel and enclosure applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style push mount blind rivet for use in panel assemblies requiring a flat-head nylon fastener with a maximum hole diameter of 5.00 mm and a maximum grip of 0.197 inches.

Installation Notes

Push mount blind rivets are installed by hand without power tools - align the rivet body with the pre-drilled or punched hole and apply firm, even pressure until the head seats flush. Ensure the panel hole diameter does not exceed the specified maximum of 5.00 mm to maintain proper retention. Before servicing any enclosure or panel, de-energize all electrical circuits per NEC guidelines. Nylon fasteners should not be used in applications exposed to sustained high heat or load-bearing structural connections.
