Au-ve-co Products 17649 Plastic Panel Rivet 7mm

Product Description

The AU-VE-CO PRODUCTS 17649 is a plastic panel rivet with a ratchet shank designed for secure, tool-free fastening of panels and trim components. The ratchet shank engages the hole walls as it is pushed into place, locking the rivet without the need for a separate backing clip or special installation tool. This rivet accommodates a maximum hole diameter of 7mm and has an overall length of 27mm. It is suited for light-duty panel attachment in automotive, HVAC, and general trade applications where a clean, flush finish is required. Installation is handled by technicians and service professionals working with sheet panels, access covers, or trim assemblies.

This panel rivet is used in applications where panels or covers must be fastened quickly and removed cleanly without damaging the surrounding material. The plastic construction makes it appropriate for non-structural attachment points in residential and light commercial equipment, including HVAC unit covers, electrical enclosure trim, and similar panel assemblies. The 7mm hole diameter is a common size across a wide range of panel applications. MOQ is 50 units per order.

Installation Notes

This rivet is installed by hand or with a push tool by aligning it with the 7mm panel hole and applying firm, even pressure until the ratchet shank seats fully. No power tools are required. Ensure the mating panel surfaces are clean and free of debris before installation to achieve a secure fit. To remove, use a flat pry tool at the rivet head and work carefully to avoid enlarging the hole.
