Rivetking. 12N37RC8AP/1100 Solid Rivet Aluminum Countersunk

Product Description

The RIVETKING. 12N37RC8AP/1100 is a countersunk solid rivet designed for permanent fastening applications across HVAC, electrical enclosure, ductwork, and light structural assembly work. The body diameter measures 1/8 inch with a length under head of 3/8 inch. The 90-degree countersunk head angle allows the rivet to sit flush with the mating surface when properly set. Fabricated from Grade 1100 aluminum, this rivet delivers adequate shear strength for light-duty joints while keeping weight low. Installers working with aluminum sheet panels, brackets, or duct components will find this fastener well-suited to hand or pneumatic rivet set tools.

This solid rivet is suited to residential and light commercial applications where a flush, permanent mechanical fastener is required. Typical installations include sheet metal ductwork assembly, enclosure panel attachment, HVAC equipment brackets, and electrical panel fabrication. The aluminum construction makes it compatible with aluminum sheet stock without galvanic corrosion concerns. It is commonly driven by a licensed sheet metal worker, HVAC technician, or electrician during new construction or retrofit work.

Key Features

• 1/8 inch body diameter for standard light-gauge sheet metal applications
• 3/8 inch length under head provides reliable grip range on thin to medium material stacks
• 90-degree countersunk head angle seats flush with surface for clean, low-profile finish
• Grade 1100 aluminum construction - lightweight with adequate shear strength for light-duty joints
• Uncoated finish - no coating to interfere with electrical grounding continuity at fastener points

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solid rivet replacement for light-gauge aluminum sheet metal assemblies requiring a countersunk, flush-mount permanent fastener.

Installation Notes

Solid rivets require a bucking bar and rivet set or a pneumatic rivet hammer for proper installation - do not substitute with a blind rivet tool. De-energize all electrical systems and shut off HVAC equipment before accessing panels or enclosures where this fastener will be installed. Hole diameter should match the rivet body diameter closely for a proper interference fit. Follow applicable sheet metal fabrication standards and local codes when used in ductwork assemblies.
