Marson M42283 Open End Blind Rivet Aluminum 100 Pack

Product Description

The MARSON M42283 is an open end blind rivet with a button head profile, aluminum body, and aluminum mandrel. It is designed for one-sided fastening applications where access to only one face of the workpiece is available. The rivet features a 0.5-inch head diameter, a grip range of 0.251 to 0.375 inches, and a body diameter of 0.257 to 0.25 inches. This style of blind rivet is widely used in sheet metal, ductwork, equipment enclosures, and general fabrication tasks by HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, and general tradespeople who need a fast, reliable fastening solution without rear access.

Open end blind rivets in this size range are common in light-gauge sheet metal assembly and ductwork fabrication. The button head profile distributes clamping load over a wider bearing surface, making it suitable for softer or thinner base materials. This package contains 100 rivets, which suits medium-volume jobs and service van stock. The all-aluminum construction keeps weight low and provides adequate corrosion resistance for indoor and light outdoor applications.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard stock blind rivet for use in sheet metal, ductwork, equipment enclosures, and general fabrication applications requiring a button head open end blind rivet with aluminum construction.

Installation Notes

Install with a standard manual or pneumatic blind rivet tool sized for the body diameter. Ensure the drill hole matches the body diameter specification before insertion to achieve proper mandrel break and clinch. Always wear appropriate eye protection, as the spent mandrel stem is ejected during setting. No special trade license is required, but installation in mechanical systems such as HVAC ductwork should follow applicable codes including SMACNA guidelines.
