Au-ve-co Products 23687 Plastic Panel Rivet 7.2mm

Product Description

The AU-VE-CO PRODUCTS 23687 is a plastic panel rivet designed for securing panels, trim pieces, and interior components in HVAC, automotive, and general trade applications. It features a maximum hole diameter of 7.2mm, a head diameter of 15.0mm, and a length under head of 15.0mm. The all-plastic construction makes it suitable for lightweight fastening where corrosion resistance and non-conductive properties are priorities. HVAC technicians, installers, and service pros use this style of push-in rivet when reassembling panel covers, access doors, and equipment enclosures.

This panel rivet is used in residential and light commercial applications where plastic panel fasteners are required. Typical install scenarios include securing sheet metal covers on HVAC equipment, attaching interior trim panels, and replacing damaged or missing OEM-style push-type fasteners during service calls. The 7.2mm hole diameter makes it compatible with pre-punched panel openings of that size. Note that minimum order quantity is 100 units and package quantity is 1.

Key Features

• Maximum hole diameter of 7.2mm for a snug fit in standard pre-punched panel openings
• Head diameter of 15.0mm provides wide surface coverage to secure panel edges cleanly
• Length under head of 15.0mm accommodates typical panel material thickness
• All-plastic construction resists corrosion and is non-conductive
• Lightweight at 0.01 pounds per unit, minimizing added load on panels

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement plastic panel rivet for use in pre-punched openings with a 7.2mm hole diameter, suitable for panel and trim fastening in HVAC equipment, general enclosures, and light commercial applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by HVAC technicians or general trade installers using hand pressure or a push-pin insertion tool. Power down and de-energize any equipment before removing or replacing panel fasteners on live electrical or mechanical enclosures. Do not overtighten or force the rivet if resistance is felt, as the plastic body can crack under excessive load. Inspect the panel hole for damage or deformation before inserting the new rivet to ensure a secure fit.
