Installation Notes

Panel rivets of this type are typically installed by hand or with light pressure using a flat-faced tool.

Ensure the mounting hole is clean and free of debris before seating the rivet to prevent improper retention. Follow manufacturer guidelines and applicable codes when servicing enclosed electrical or HVAC equipment.
