Au-ve-co Products 19275 Nylon Panel Rivet Ratchet Shank

Product Description

The AU-VE-CO PRODUCTS 19275 is a nylon panel rivet with a ratchet shank design, used to secure panels, trim, and interior components in HVAC enclosures, automotive applications, and light commercial equipment assemblies. Made from white nylon, this rivet accepts a maximum hole diameter of 7 millimeters and has an overall length of 20 millimeters. The 18-millimeter head diameter provides a broad bearing surface to distribute clamping load across thin panel material. The ratchet shank locks in place during installation without requiring additional hardware, making it a clean one-piece fastening solution for field technicians and assembly workers.

This panel rivet is suited for securing lightweight panels, access covers, and decorative trim in residential and light commercial HVAC equipment, electrical enclosures, and similar assemblies where a flush or low-profile fastener is needed. Its nylon construction resists corrosion and eliminates the risk of galvanic reaction against aluminum or composite panels. Technicians working on equipment housings, ductwork access doors, or control panel covers will find this rivet well suited for quick, tool-minimal installation.

Key Features

• Ratchet shank locks into panel without tools or secondary fasteners
• Maximum hole diameter of 7 millimeters fits standard panel punch sizes
• 18-millimeter head diameter spreads load across thin or soft panel materials
• Nylon construction resists corrosion and moisture
• White finish blends with common equipment housings and interior panels
• Lightweight at 0.01 pounds per unit, reducing added weight in panel assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fastener for panel assemblies requiring a ratchet-shank nylon rivet with a 7-millimeter hole diameter and 20-millimeter overall length.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by aligning the rivet shank with the pre-punched or drilled panel hole and pressing firmly until the ratchet shank engages and locks. No special tools are required, though a push tool or installer punch can improve consistency on high-volume work. Always verify panel thickness is within the rivet's rated grip range before installation. Rivets are not designed for removal and reuse; damaged or misinstalled rivets should be cut out and replaced.
