Rivetking 12N100RFL3P Solid Rivet Flat Head Stainless Steel

Product Description

The RIVETKING 12N100RFL3P is a flat-head solid rivet machined from 18-8 stainless steel with an uncoated finish. It features a 0.125-inch body diameter and a 1-inch length under the head, making it suited for permanent fastening applications that demand corrosion resistance without a surface coating. Solid rivets of this type require both access to the back side of the workpiece and a rivet set or bucking bar to form the tail. They are commonly installed by sheet metal workers, plumbers, electricians, and general contractors in assemblies where vibration or shear loads rule out threaded fasteners.

This rivet is appropriate for light-duty structural and non-structural fastening in residential and commercial applications. The 18-8 stainless steel grade offers good resistance to oxidation and mild corrosive environments, making it a practical choice for HVAC ductwork brackets, electrical enclosures, plumbing hangers, and general sheet metal assemblies where a permanent, uncoated stainless fastener is specified. It does not meet military specifications.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet and mildly corrosive environments
• Flat head profile sits flush or near-flush against the workpiece surface
• 0.125-inch body diameter fits standard rivet holes for this size range
• 1-inch length under head accommodates typical sheet metal stack-ups in this class
• Uncoated finish eliminates concerns about coating adhesion or chemical compatibility
• Solid rivet design provides a permanent, high-shear fastening solution

Compatibility

Designed as a standard solid rivet for use in applications requiring a 0.125-inch body diameter flat-head fastener in 18-8 stainless steel. Verify grip range and hole preparation against the specific assembly requirements before installation.

Installation Notes

Solid rivets require access to both sides of the joint and are typically set using a rivet set, bucking bar, and hammer or pneumatic rivet hammer. Ensure the mating hole is drilled or punched to the correct clearance diameter for a 0.125-inch shank. Follow applicable codes and the assembly drawing for edge distance and rivet spacing. Always wear appropriate eye and hand protection when driving solid rivets.
