Au-ve-co Products 21118 Nylon Panel Rivet Keyhole Shank

Product Description

The AU-VE-CO PRODUCTS 21118 is a keyhole-shank nylon panel rivet designed for securing panels, trim, and lightweight assemblies in HVAC, automotive, and general equipment applications. It features a 9mm maximum hole diameter, an overall length of 21mm (approximately 0.827 inches), and a 14mm length under the head (approximately 0.551 inches). The white nylon construction resists corrosion and provides a clean finish on visible panel surfaces. HVAC technicians, equipment assemblers, and service technicians use this type of fastener when attaching access panels, duct liners, or interior trim components where a low-profile, push-in retention style is preferred.

The 21118 panel rivet is suited for light-duty panel fastening in residential and commercial HVAC equipment, electrical enclosures, and similar sheet-metal or plastic panel assemblies. The keyhole shank design allows for quick installation and removal without special tooling, making it practical for service and maintenance work where panels are accessed repeatedly. Maximum material thickness is 9mm (approximately 0.354 inches). Sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 15 pieces.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose keyhole-shank panel rivet for use in applications requiring a 9mm hole diameter and up to 9mm material thickness, typical in HVAC panel assemblies, electrical enclosures, and light equipment trim.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by aligning the keyhole shank with the panel hole and applying firm hand pressure until the rivet seats. No special tools are required for standard installation, though a trim removal tool may assist with extraction during service. Power down or de-energize any equipment before accessing internal panels. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer guidelines when fastening access panels on pressurized or energized assemblies.
