Marson BOM-R8-5-PKT Structural Blind Rivet 10 Pack

Product Description

The MARSON BOM-R8-5-PKT is a structural blind rivet with a button head profile, steel body, and steel mandrel. Designed for high-strength blind fastening applications, this rivet installs from one side of the workpiece, making it suited for joints where rear access is limited or not possible. The button head provides a low-profile, rounded bearing surface that distributes load across the material face. With a grip range of 0.282 to 0.344 inches and a body diameter of 0.277 inches, this rivet is sized for light-to-medium structural connections. Each package contains 10 rivets. Installed by mechanics, ironworkers, HVAC sheet metal technicians, and general tradespeople.

This structural blind rivet is used in residential and light commercial fabrication, ductwork assembly, equipment panels, enclosures, and structural bracketing where a permanent, load-bearing fastener is required. The steel-on-steel construction makes it appropriate for applications requiring greater shear and tensile strength than standard pop rivets. It is a common choice for metal-to-metal joints in HVAC, electrical enclosure work, and general sheet metal fabrication where one-sided installation is the only practical option.

Compatibility

Designed as a structural blind rivet replacement suitable for standard blind rivet tools and rivet guns accepting the appropriate mandrel diameter. Verify tool nose piece compatibility before installation.

Installation Notes

Structural blind rivets are installed using a manual, pneumatic, or battery-powered blind rivet tool. Drill the appropriate hole diameter through both workpieces before inserting the rivet. Insert the rivet body fully into the hole before actuating the tool to pull and break the mandrel. Ensure all material is clamped flush before setting the rivet to achieve full grip and proper clamp load.
