Au-ve-co Products 20934 Plastic Panel Rivet 9mm

Product Description

The AU-VE-CO PRODUCTS 20934 is a plastic panel rivet designed for securing panels, trim, and light-duty components in place without the need for metal fasteners. It fits a 9mm hole diameter and seats with an 11mm length under the head, making it well suited for thin-panel applications where material thickness runs up to 9mm. The all-plastic construction resists corrosion and is lightweight, which is an advantage in environments where metal fasteners could cause galvanic issues or add unnecessary weight. HVAC technicians, auto-body technicians, and general trade installers commonly use this type of rivet for attaching panels, ductwork access covers, and equipment enclosures.

This panel rivet is used in residential and light commercial applications where panels, access doors, or trim pieces require a clean, flush-mount fastening solution. It is particularly common in HVAC cabinet and air handler assembly, where plastic rivets prevent panel rattling and allow for tool-free or minimal-tool removal during service. The 9mm hole diameter is a standard sizing found across a wide range of panel thicknesses up to 9mm, making this rivet a practical choice for technicians who stock common fastener sizes for field repairs and installations.

Key Features

• 9mm hole diameter fits standard panel fastener openings
• 11mm length under head accommodates material thickness up to 9mm
• All-plastic construction resists corrosion and prevents galvanic reaction with aluminum or thin-gauge sheet metal panels

• Head diameter of approximately 0.79 inches provides a wide bearing surface for a secure panel hold

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement plastic panel rivet for applications requiring a 9mm hole diameter fastener in panels up to 9mm material thickness.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no special tools for most push-in style plastic rivets; a panel removal tool or flathead screwdriver may be used for removal without damaging the panel. Power down any electrical equipment and relieve any system pressure before accessing internal panels or enclosures. Follow applicable local codes and manufacturer service instructions when opening HVAC cabinets or equipment enclosures.
