Au-ve-co Products 18310 Push Mount Blind Rivet

Product Description

The AU-VE-CO PRODUCTS 18310 is a push mount blind rivet with a flat head, nylon body, and nylon mandrel. It installs with a simple push-in motion, expanding to lock panels or trim components together without requiring a rivet gun. The 1 inch head diameter provides a broad bearing surface, and the 0.335 inch maximum grip handles typical panel stack thicknesses found in HVAC cabinets, equipment enclosures, and light-duty assemblies. The all-nylon construction resists corrosion and is electrically non-conductive, making it suitable for both metallic and non-metallic substrates. Technicians and assemblers working on sheet-metal panels, ductwork trim, and equipment covers will find this rivet a fast, tool-free fastening option.

This rivet is used where a clean, low-profile flat head is required on the visible face of a panel. Common applications include HVAC equipment cabinet assembly, electrical enclosure trim attachment, and light panel work in commercial and residential installations. The nylon body is compatible with the 6.30 mm maximum hole diameter common in pre-punched sheet-metal panels. Its black color blends with dark panel surfaces and covers.

Key Features

• Push mount installation - no rivet gun required, installs by hand or with light pressure
• Flat head style provides a low-profile, flush appearance on panel surfaces
• 1 inch head diameter distributes clamping load across a broad bearing surface
• Nylon body and mandrel offer corrosion resistance and electrical non-conductivity
• 0.335 inch maximum grip accommodates typical single and double-layer panel thicknesses
• Black color finish suits dark panel and enclosure applications

Compatibility

Designed as a push mount fastener for panels with a maximum hole diameter of 6.30 mm, suitable for use in HVAC cabinet assembly, electrical enclosures, and general light-panel fastening applications where a nylon, corrosion-resistant rivet is required.

Installation Notes

This rivet is installed by aligning the body with the pre-punched hole and applying firm, even pressure until the mandrel expands and locks in place. Verify hole diameter does not exceed 6.30 mm before installation to ensure proper grip. No special tools are required, though a flat-face punch or setting tool can assist with flush seating on harder substrates. Minimum order quantity of 25 units applies per order increment.
