Au-ve-co Products 20633 Plastic Panel Rivet Keyhole Shank

Product Description

The AU-VE-CO PRODUCTS 20633 is a plastic panel rivet with a keyhole shank design, manufactured for secure, tool-free panel fastening in automotive, HVAC, and light industrial applications. It fits holes up to 8.5mm in diameter and has an overall length of 20mm, with 14mm of length under the head to accommodate panel material up to 8.2mm thick. Made entirely from plastic, this rivet installs quickly and resists corrosion in environments where metal fasteners are not suitable. The turquoise color aids in visual identification during installation and inventory management.

This panel rivet is commonly used in residential and light commercial HVAC equipment, automotive interior panels, appliance housings, and electrical enclosures where a flush or low-profile fastener is required. The keyhole shank allows push-in installation without threading or special tooling, making it suitable for high-volume assembly work or field service repairs where speed and ease of access matter. It is well suited for any application requiring a plastic snap-in fastener in a standard 8.5mm panel hole.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no special tools - align the rivet with the panel hole and apply firm hand pressure until the shank locks into place. Before servicing, ensure the panel or assembly is de-energized if the rivet is used in electrical enclosures or control panel applications. Removal typically requires a flat pry tool or panel clip removal tool to avoid damaging the surrounding panel material. Follow the equipment manufacturer's service procedures when replacing fasteners on live HVAC or electrical equipment.
