Au-ve-co Products 20627 Blind Rivet Dome Head Aluminum

Product Description

The AU-VE-CO PRODUCTS 20627 is a closed end sealing blind rivet with a dome head, designed for fastening applications where the blind side of the joint must remain sealed against moisture, air, or contaminants. The body and mandrel are both aluminum, making this rivet lightweight and corrosion-resistant for general-purpose use. It accepts a hole diameter of 1/8 inch and handles a grip range of 3/64 inch minimum to 3/16 inch maximum, covering a practical spread of material thicknesses in a single rivet. The closed end design retains the mandrel stem inside the body after setting, preventing leakage through the rivet shank. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance technicians across HVAC, plumbing, and general sheet metal work rely on this style of rivet where a liquid-tight or airtight fastener is required.

This rivet is suited for residential and light commercial applications involving sheet metal panels, ductwork enclosures, equipment covers, and similar assemblies where a sealed fastener point is needed. The 8.5 mm length under head accommodates typical sheet stock and thin-gauge panel combinations. Its black color makes it appropriate for visible surfaces where a neutral finish is acceptable. The aluminum construction keeps weight minimal and avoids galvanic concerns when joining aluminum or coated steel panels.

Key Features

• Closed end design seals the rivet bore after setting, blocking moisture and air infiltration
• Dome head profile distributes clamping load across the surface for a flush, secure finish
• Aluminum body and aluminum mandrel resist corrosion in damp or outdoor-adjacent environments
• Grip range of 3/64 inch to 3/16 inch covers multiple material thickness combinations
• 1/8 inch hole diameter is a common standard size compatible with most rivet tools
• Black color finish suits visible panel and enclosure applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style blind rivet for use in standard 1/8 inch drilled or punched holes across sheet metal, aluminum panel, and light-gauge fabrication applications.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a standard hand or pneumatic blind rivet tool sized for 1/8 inch rivets. Drill or punch the substrate to a clean 1/8 inch hole before inserting the rivet body. Set the rivet by pulling the mandrel until it breaks at the shear point, confirming the closed end has fully expanded on the blind side. Wear appropriate eye protection during setting, as mandrel stems can eject with force.
