Rivetking. 12N50RRDAP/1100 Aluminum Solid Rivet

Product Description

The RIVETKING. 12N50RRDAP/1100 is a round head solid rivet designed for permanent mechanical fastening in sheet metal, structural, and fabrication applications. Machined from Grade 1100 aluminum, this uncoated rivet offers a body diameter of 0.125 inches and a length under head of 0.5 inches. Solid rivets require a bucking bar or rivet gun to set and form a shop head on the blind side of the joint, creating a strong, vibration-resistant connection. Trade workers in HVAC, plumbing, electrical panel fabrication, and general sheet metal work will find this fastener suited to lightweight aluminum assemblies where corrosion resistance and weight savings matter.

This rivet is used in residential and light commercial applications where aluminum-to-aluminum or aluminum-to-mild-steel joining is required. Typical install scenarios include ductwork assembly, equipment enclosures, junction box panels, and structural brackets. The 1100-series aluminum grade provides good workability and formability, making it easy to set without cracking or splitting the shank during installation. It is sold individually and is suited for job-site or shop use where precise fastener selection by size and material is required.

Key Features

• Grade 1100 aluminum construction offers good workability and corrosion resistance
• Body diameter of 0.125 inches suits standard rivet hole sizing in light sheet metal
• Length under head of 0.5 inches accommodates typical single or double sheet stack thickness
• Uncoated finish maintains base aluminum properties without added surface treatments
• Round head profile distributes clamping load across the joint face
• Solid rivet design creates a permanent, vibration-resistant mechanical joint

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solid rivet replacement for light fabrication and sheet metal applications requiring a 0.125 inch body diameter round head aluminum fastener.

Installation Notes

Installation of solid rivets requires a rivet gun or pneumatic hammer and a bucking bar to form the shop head on the blind side. Power down all energized equipment and relieve any system pressure before beginning fastener work on live assemblies. Use proper hole-size tooling to avoid oversizing the hole, which can compromise joint strength. Follow applicable sheet metal and structural fastening guidelines as required by local codes or job specifications.
