Rivetking. 12N37RRD3P Solid Rivet Stainless Steel 18-8

Product Description

The RIVETKING. 12N37RRD3P is a solid rivet with a round 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 provide a permanent, high-strength mechanical fastener joint and are driven by upsetting the tail end with a bucking bar or rivet gun. This rivet is suited for structural and non-structural fastening applications where corrosion resistance is required and disassembly is not anticipated.

Grade 18-8 stainless steel construction makes this solid rivet appropriate for applications exposed to moisture, mild chemicals, or outdoor environments where carbon steel fasteners would corrode. Typical install scenarios include sheet metal assemblies, HVAC panel fabrication, enclosure construction, and general mechanical assembly work. The uncoated finish is suitable where a natural stainless appearance is acceptable and no additional surface treatment is required.

Key Features

• Solid rivet construction provides a permanent, vibration-resistant mechanical joint
• Grade 18-8 stainless steel offers corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor environments
• Round head profile distributes clamping load over a broad bearing surface
• Uncoated finish retains the natural stainless steel surface - no plating to chip or degrade
• 0.125 inch body diameter and 0.375 inch length under head suit thin-material stacking applications
• Does not meet military specifications - intended for commercial and industrial applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard commercial solid rivet for use in sheet metal, enclosure, and general mechanical assembly applications requiring a 0.125 inch body diameter fastener with a round head profile.

Installation Notes

Solid rivets are installed by a qualified assembler or sheet metal technician using a rivet gun and bucking bar, or a rivet set and hammer for manual driving. Drill or punch the mating material to the appropriate clearance hole size for a 0.125 inch body diameter rivet before installation. Once upset, solid rivets form a permanent joint and cannot be removed without drilling out. Always wear appropriate eye protection when driving or bucking rivets.
