Rivetking 12N37RFL3P Solid Rivet 1/8 in Stainless Steel Flat Head

Product Description

The RIVETKING 12N37RFL3P is a solid rivet with a flat head profile, manufactured from grade 18-8 stainless steel with an uncoated finish. It features a body diameter of 0.125 inches and a length under head of 0.375 inches. Solid rivets are permanent mechanical fasteners installed by deforming the tail end to clamp two or more materials together. This rivet is suited for structural and non-structural joining applications where corrosion resistance and material integrity are required. Installation is typically performed by a machinist, sheet metal worker, or maintenance technician using a rivet set and bucking bar or a pneumatic rivet hammer.

This solid rivet is appropriate for light-gauge sheet metal fabrication, HVAC ductwork assembly, enclosure manufacturing, and general metal joining tasks in both shop and field environments. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it well suited for applications exposed to moisture or mild corrosive conditions. The flat head profile sits flush or near-flush against the work surface, making it a practical choice where a low-profile fastener head is required.

Key Features

• Grade 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet or outdoor environments
• Flat head profile for low-profile installations on flat work surfaces
• Body diameter of 0.125 inches for use in standard 1/8 inch rivet holes
• Length under head of 0.375 inches to accommodate standard material stack thicknesses
• Uncoated finish - no additional surface treatment that could flake or degrade
• Does not meet military specifications - intended for commercial and industrial use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard solid rivet replacement for commercial and industrial fastening applications requiring a 1/8 inch body diameter flat head rivet in stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Solid rivets are installed by licensed sheet metal workers, machinists, or qualified maintenance technicians using a rivet set, bucking bar, and hammer or pneumatic rivet gun. Always drill the mating hole to the correct diameter and deburr before installation. Power down all equipment and secure workpieces before beginning any fastening operation. Follow applicable codes and manufacturer guidelines for joint design and rivet spacing.
