Rivetking. 15N50RRD3P Solid Rivet 5/32 in Stainless Steel

Product Description

The RIVETKING. 15N50RRD3P is a round-head solid rivet machined from Grade 18-8 stainless steel with an uncoated finish. Solid rivets are permanent mechanical fasteners installed by deforming the tail end to clamp two or more workpieces together. The 5/32-inch body diameter and 1/2-inch length under head make this rivet suited to light- to medium-gauge sheet metal, fiberglass, and similar structural joining applications. Grade 18-8 stainless steel provides corrosion resistance in wet or chemically exposed environments without a surface coating. Sheet metal fabricators, maintenance technicians, and skilled tradespeople install this type of rivet using a rivet set and bucking bar or equivalent tooling.

This solid rivet is used in fabrication, repair, and assembly work where a permanent, flush or domed-head fastener is required. Typical applications include ductwork repair, equipment enclosures, brackets, and structural panel attachment. The uncoated stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for outdoor, marine-adjacent, or corrosive-environment installations where coated or aluminum rivets would be inadequate. This rivet is sold individually and is compatible with standard 5/32-inch rivet hole preparations.

Key Features

• Grade 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in demanding environments
• 5/32-inch body diameter fits standard 5/32-inch drilled or punched holes
• 1/2-inch length under head accommodates light- to medium-gauge material stacks
• Round head profile distributes clamping load over a wider bearing surface
• Uncoated finish eliminates coating delamination concerns in high-wear or high-moisture areas
• Solid rivet design creates a permanent, vibration-resistant mechanical joint

Compatibility

Designed as a standard solid rivet for use in any application requiring a 5/32-inch body diameter round-head fastener in stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Solid rivets are installed by licensed sheet metal workers, maintenance mechanics, or qualified fabricators using a rivet set, hammer, and bucking bar or pneumatic rivet gun. Drill or punch the mating hole to the correct clearance diameter before installation. Ensure all workpieces are clamped securely and properly aligned prior to upsetting the tail. This fastener does not meet military specifications and should not be used in applications requiring MIL-SPEC-rated hardware.
