Au-ve-co Products 19804 Plastic Panel Rivet

Product Description

The AU-VE-CO PRODUCTS 19804 is a plastic panel rivet designed for fastening panels and trim components in place where a clean, tool-free or push-in retention method is needed. It accepts a maximum hole diameter of 9.5mm and is rated for material thickness up to 9.2mm. The rivet body is constructed entirely of plastic, making it resistant to corrosion and suitable for use in environments where metal fasteners may cause galvanic issues or panel damage. HVAC technicians, auto-trim installers, and general service technicians commonly use this type of fastener when securing access panels, duct covers, and interior trim pieces.

This panel rivet is suited for light-duty fastening applications in residential and commercial service work. Typical installations include HVAC equipment access panels, plastic duct covers, equipment shrouds, and interior trim assemblies. The push-in or snap-fit design allows for quick installation and removal during routine service calls without specialized tooling.

Key Features

• Maximum hole diameter of 9.5mm for consistent fitment in standard panel openings
• Rated material thickness up to 9.2mm for use across a range of panel gauges
• Full plastic construction resists corrosion and prevents panel marring
• Lightweight at 0.01 pounds per unit, minimizing added load to panels
• Reusable design supports removal and reinstallation during service access

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fastener for plastic panel assemblies requiring a 9.5mm hole diameter push-in rivet.

Installation Notes

Installation does not require power tools. Confirm the panel hole diameter matches 9.5mm and that panel material thickness does not exceed 9.2mm before installing. When removing existing rivets, use a trim removal tool or flat pick to avoid cracking the rivet head or the surrounding panel material. No electrical shutoff is required for panel rivet replacement, but always follow appropriate lockout procedures if the panel being serviced is part of live electrical or mechanical equipment.
