Au-ve-co Products 17616 Push Mount Blind Rivet

Product Description

The AU-VE-CO PRODUCTS 17616 is a push mount blind rivet designed for tool-free panel fastening in automotive, HVAC, and light industrial applications. The flat head profile sits flush against the panel surface, and both the body and mandrel are molded from nylon, making the fastener lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and non-conductive. It accommodates a maximum hole diameter of 11.50 millimeters and a maximum grip depth of 30.00 millimeters, covering a wide range of panel thicknesses without additional hardware. The black finish blends into standard panel assemblies. This rivet is installed by hand, requiring no rivet gun or setting tool.

The 17616 push mount rivet is suited for securing panels, trim pieces, wire harness clips, and similar components in residential and light commercial HVAC equipment, automotive interiors, and general sheet-metal enclosures. The push mount design allows for fast, single-hand installation and removal during service calls, making it a practical choice for field technicians who need to access internal components quickly. It is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 10 units.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no special tools - align the rivet with the pre-punched panel hole and press firmly until the retaining tabs engage. Before servicing any enclosure or panel that contains electrical components, de-energize the equipment and follow applicable lockout/tagout procedures per NFPA 70E. When removing the rivet, use a trim removal tool or flat pry tool to avoid deforming the panel. Inspect the mounting hole for damage before installing a replacement rivet to ensure a secure fit.
