Au-ve-co Products 20190 Nylon Panel Rivet Arrow Shank

Product Description

The AU-VE-CO PRODUCTS 20190 is a nylon panel rivet with an arrow shank design, used to fasten panels, trim, and interior components in place without metal fasteners. The rivet fits holes up to 8.5mm in diameter and has an overall length of 25mm, making it suited for moderate-thickness panel stacks up to 8.2mm of material. The head diameter measures approximately 0.51 inches. Constructed from natural-colored nylon, this rivet resists corrosion and is lightweight. It is installed by hand or with basic push tooling, requiring no threading or torque equipment. Technicians working on HVAC enclosures, equipment panels, ductwork covers, or similar assemblies use this type of fastener routinely.

This panel rivet is appropriate for light-duty fastening applications where a flush or low-profile retention clip is needed. Common install scenarios include securing access panels on HVAC air handlers, attaching interior trim to equipment housings, and fastening lightweight plastic or sheet-metal panels in place. The arrow shank design allows the rivet to lock into a drilled or punched hole with a push-fit motion, eliminating the need for adhesives or threaded fasteners in panel assembly work. Sold in minimum order quantities of 25 pieces.

Key Features

• Arrow shank design installs with a single push-fit motion into a drilled or punched panel hole
• Fits holes up to 8.5mm in diameter with a material thickness capacity of 8.2mm
• Overall length of 25mm provides secure retention across moderate panel stacks
• Nylon construction resists corrosion and eliminates galvanic reaction with dissimilar metals
• Natural color finish suits concealed or interior fastening applications
• Lightweight at 0.01 pounds per unit, reducing overall assembly weight

Compatibility

Designed as a push-fit panel fastener for use in any application requiring an 8.5mm hole diameter and accommodating up to 8.2mm of material thickness, including HVAC equipment panels, ductwork covers, and similar light-duty panel assemblies.

Installation Notes

This rivet is typically installed by hand or with a push tool aligned perpendicular to the panel surface. Ensure the mating hole is clean and within the specified 8.5mm diameter tolerance before insertion. No power tools or special codes are required, though technicians should verify panel material thickness does not exceed 8.2mm to ensure proper locking engagement. Removal generally requires a flathead tool to release the arrow shank without damaging the panel.
