Au-ve-co Products 20616 Plastic Panel Rivet Keyhole Shank

Product Description

The AU-VE-CO PRODUCTS 20616 is a plastic panel rivet with a keyhole shank design, used to fasten panels, trim pieces, and interior covers in HVAC, automotive, and light mechanical applications. The rivet accepts a maximum hole diameter of 9mm and features a 19.5mm head diameter that distributes load across the panel face. Made entirely from white plastic, this fastener resists corrosion and is lightweight enough for repeated handling. HVAC technicians, trim installers, and service techs reach for this type of rivet when securing access panels, duct liners, or plastic shrouds where metal hardware is not required.

This rivet is suited for residential and light commercial panel assemblies where a clean, flush-mount finish is needed. The keyhole shank design allows for tool-free installation and quick removal during service calls. Typical applications include securing interior duct panels, equipment cabinet liners, fan shrouds, and decorative trim covers. The white finish blends with standard white equipment enclosures common in residential HVAC systems.

Installation Notes

Push the rivet shank through the panel hole until the head seats flush against the panel face. Power down or de-energize any equipment before accessing internal panels or cabinet covers. No special tools are required for standard installation, though a panel removal tool is recommended for extraction to avoid damaging surrounding trim. Inspect the mounting hole for burrs or deformation before installing to ensure a secure fit.
