Marson M43044 Open End Blind Rivet Button Head Aluminum 500pk

Product Description

The MARSON M43044 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 the back of the workpiece is limited or impossible. The button head provides a low-profile, rounded bearing surface that distributes clamping load across the material. With a body diameter of 0.129 to 0.125 inches and a grip range of 0.126 to 0.187 inches, this rivet is suited for thin-to-medium material stacks. Sold in a 500-piece package, this SKU is appropriate for production-volume use by fabricators, HVAC installers, electricians, and general contractors.

This rivet is commonly used in light-gauge sheet metal work, ductwork fabrication, electrical enclosure assembly, and general structural fastening where aluminum-to-aluminum or aluminum-to-steel joints are required. The aluminum body and mandrel combination minimizes galvanic corrosion risk when fastening aluminum substrates. It fits standard 1/4-inch button head rivet applications and is appropriate for both shop and field installation scenarios across residential and light commercial construction trades.

Key Features

• Open end blind rivet design allows single-sided installation without rear access
• Button head profile with 1/4-inch head diameter provides broad clamping surface
• Grip range of 0.126 to 0.187 inches accommodates varied material stack thicknesses
• All-aluminum construction reduces galvanic corrosion potential on aluminum substrates
• Sold in 500-piece package suitable for production or high-volume field use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style open end blind rivet for use in standard 1/4-inch button head rivet applications across sheet metal, ductwork, and general fabrication assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a rivet tool sized for 1/4-inch blind rivets; confirm tool mandrel jaw compatibility before use. Verify material stack thickness falls within the 0.126 to 0.187-inch grip range before selecting this rivet for the application. Ensure hole diameter is properly sized to the body diameter to achieve rated clamp load. Wear appropriate eye protection during installation, as the mandrel stem ejects at completion of the pull cycle.
