Au-ve-co Products 23966 Plastic Panel Rivet

Product Description

The AU-VE-CO PRODUCTS 23966 is a plastic panel rivet designed for securing panels, trim, and lightweight components in HVAC, automotive, and general trade applications. With a maximum hole diameter of 6.35mm, a head diameter of 25.4mm, and an overall length of 23.4mm, this fastener provides a clean, low-profile retention point through sheet panels and enclosures. The all-plastic construction resists corrosion and is suitable for use in environments where metal fasteners would cause galvanic issues or electrical conductivity concerns. Technicians and installers use this type of rivet where a tool-free or push-in retention solution is required.

This panel rivet is used in residential and light commercial applications wherever plastic panel retention is needed. Common install scenarios include HVAC equipment enclosures, control panel covers, ductwork trim pieces, and access panel retention. The 6.35mm hole diameter and 6.35mm material thickness rating make it compatible with a range of standard panel gauges used across HVAC cabinets and similar assemblies. This rivet is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 50 units.

Key Features

• Maximum hole diameter of 6.35mm for standard panel fitment
• Head diameter of 25.4mm provides broad bearing surface to prevent pull-through
• Overall length of 23.4mm accommodates typical panel material thickness
• All-plastic construction eliminates corrosion and prevents galvanic reaction with aluminum or composite panels
• Push-in style installation requires no specialty tools

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement plastic panel rivet for use in applications requiring a 6.35mm hole diameter push-in fastener in panel and trim assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by aligning the rivet with the pre-drilled or punched panel hole and pressing firmly until the retaining tabs engage. No power tools are required, though needle-nose pliers may assist with removal. Ensure the panel material thickness does not exceed the rated 6.35mm to achieve full retention. Always power down or de-energize any electrical enclosure before servicing panels or replacing fasteners in live assemblies.
