Rivetking 18N100RFLAP/1100 Flat Solid Aluminum Rivet

Product Description

The RIVETKING 18N100RFLAP/1100 is a flat head solid aluminum rivet designed for permanent fastening applications across a range of light fabrication, sheet metal, and structural assembly tasks. With a body diameter of 0.1875 inches and a length under head of 1 inch, this rivet is suited for situations where a flush, low-profile head profile is required on the finished surface. The 1100-series aluminum construction offers solid corrosion resistance in non-marine, general-purpose environments. Installation requires a properly matched rivet set and bucking bar, making it a standard choice for sheet metal mechanics, HVAC fabricators, and general trade assembly work.

This solid rivet is appropriate for use in residential and light commercial sheet metal work, ductwork fabrication, equipment enclosures, and similar applications where a driven solid rivet is specified over a blind or pop rivet. The flat head style keeps the fastener profile low against the mating surface, which is useful in assemblies where clearance on the head side is limited. This part is sold individually and is well suited for small repair jobs or sample evaluation before bulk procurement.

Key Features

• Flat head profile for flush or near-flush installation on the head side
• Body diameter of 0.1875 inches fits standard 3/16 inch rivet hole sizes
• 1 inch length under head accommodates common sheet metal stack thicknesses
• 1100-series aluminum construction provides good corrosion resistance in general-purpose applications
• Solid rivet construction requires driven installation, producing a fully filled shank for strong permanent joints

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose solid rivet for use in sheet metal fabrication, ductwork assembly, and equipment panel construction where a 3/16 inch flat head solid aluminum rivet is specified.

Installation Notes

Solid rivets require a rivet set and bucking bar for proper installation and should be driven by a qualified sheet metal mechanic or fabricator. Always drill or punch holes to the correct diameter before insertion to ensure proper shank fit and head seating. Deburr mating surfaces before installation to avoid stress concentrations around the rivet hole. Follow applicable fabrication standards and local codes for structural or pressure-boundary applications.
