Au-ve-co Products 19678 Plastic Panel Rivet 5mm

Product Description

The AU-VE-CO PRODUCTS 19678 is a white plastic panel rivet with a ratchet shank design, intended for securing panels, trim, and lightweight components in HVAC, automotive, and general trade applications. The rivet fits a 5mm diameter hole and accommodates a material thickness of 5mm. The ratchet shank locks into place on installation, eliminating the need for additional fasteners or adhesives. Installation is straightforward and does not require specialized tooling beyond a firm push or light mallet tap. This fastener is suited for technicians working with plastic panels, ductwork covers, equipment housings, or any application requiring a clean, flush-mount plastic rivet.

This rivet is commonly used in light commercial and residential HVAC panel assembly, equipment enclosures, and trim attachment. It is a practical choice wherever a removable or semi-permanent plastic fastener is needed in a 5mm punched or drilled hole. The white color makes it a natural fit for white equipment housings and interior panel work. Sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 50 units, making it appropriate for service stock or production-line use.

Key Features

• Ratchet shank design locks securely on insertion without tools
• 5mm maximum hole diameter for precise fit in standard punched or drilled panels
• 5mm material thickness capacity for typical single-layer panel applications
• Full plastic construction resists corrosion in humid or wet environments
• White color blends with standard white equipment housings and panels

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fastener for plastic panel assemblies requiring a ratchet-shank rivet in a 5mm hole diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no power tools - align the rivet shank with the 5mm panel hole and press firmly until the ratchet shank seats and locks. Ensure the panel and mating surface are free of debris before installation to achieve a flush seat. Removal typically requires a flathead tool to release the ratchet tab; take care not to crack the surrounding panel material. This fastener is installed by HVAC technicians, equipment assemblers, and general trade professionals as part of panel reassembly after service.
