Au-ve-co Products 20609 Plastic Panel Rivet 7mm

Product Description

The AU-VE-CO PRODUCTS 20609 is a plastic panel rivet designed to secure panels, trim, and lightweight components in place without the need for metal fasteners. It features a 7mm maximum hole diameter and a 14mm overall length, making it suited for thin-panel applications where a clean, flush finish is required. The 30mm head diameter provides a broad bearing surface that distributes load across the panel face and prevents pull-through. This rivet is installed by hand or with a trim-panel tool and is commonly used by automotive service techs, HVAC installers, and general tradespeople securing plastic enclosures or decorative panels.

This fastener is used in applications where plastic-to-plastic or plastic-to-thin-sheet-metal panel retention is required. Typical scenarios include securing HVAC cabinet covers, equipment panels, vehicle interior trim, and similar lightweight assemblies. The all-plastic construction resists corrosion and is suitable for environments where metal fasteners would be prone to oxidation or electrolytic reaction with dissimilar materials. It accommodates panel material up to 7mm thick.

Key Features

• 7mm maximum hole diameter for precise panel alignment
• 30mm head diameter distributes clamping load and reduces pull-through risk
• 14mm overall length suits standard thin-panel installations
• All-plastic construction resists corrosion in humid or chemically active environments
• Tool-free or trim-tool installation for fast service work

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose plastic panel rivet for residential and light commercial applications requiring a 7mm hole diameter fastener in plastic panels, trim, or lightweight enclosures.

Installation Notes

Installation does not require power tools; a trim-panel removal tool or flathead screwdriver is typically sufficient. Ensure the panel hole diameter matches the 7mm specification before installing to avoid a loose fit. Inspect the panel material for cracks or deformation around the hole prior to fastening. Minimum order quantity for this part is 25 units.
