Rivetking. 12N75RFLAP/1100 Solid Rivet Flat Head Aluminum

Product Description

The RIVETKING. 12N75RFLAP/1100 is a solid rivet with a flat head profile, manufactured from Grade 1100 aluminum with an uncoated finish. It measures 0.125 inches in body diameter and 0.75 inches in length under the head. Solid rivets are permanent mechanical fasteners installed by deforming the tail end after insertion, creating a secure joint without the need for nuts or bolts. This rivet is suited for sheet metal assembly, ductwork fabrication, and light structural joining where a low-profile flat head is required. Installation is performed by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, plumbers, and general trade professionals working with aluminum assemblies.

This rivet is used in applications where a lightweight, corrosion-resistant aluminum fastener is needed. The flat head design sits flush or near-flush against the workpiece surface, making it appropriate for joints where head protrusion must be minimized. Common install scenarios include HVAC duct assemblies, sheet metal enclosures, junction boxes, and light fabrication work in both residential and commercial settings. Grade 1100 aluminum offers good corrosion resistance and workability, making it a standard choice for general-purpose aluminum riveting where high-strength alloys are not required.

Key Features

• Solid rivet construction provides a permanent, vibration-resistant joint
• Flat head profile minimizes surface protrusion at the joint face
• Grade 1100 aluminum material offers corrosion resistance and easy setting
• Uncoated finish suitable for standard aluminum-to-aluminum or aluminum-to-mild-steel assemblies
• 0.125-inch body diameter fits standard tooling for light-gauge sheet metal work

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose solid rivet for use in light sheet metal fabrication, HVAC ductwork, and similar trade applications requiring a 0.125-inch diameter flat head aluminum fastener.

Installation Notes

Solid rivets require a rivet set and bucking bar or a dedicated rivet hammer for proper installation - ensure the correct die size matches the rivet head profile before driving. Always select a rivet length appropriate for the total grip range of the materials being joined; too short a tail will not form a proper shop head. This rivet does not meet military specifications and should not be used in applications that require MIL-spec certified fasteners. Wear appropriate eye protection during installation to guard against metal fragments.
