Rivetking. 18N100RRD3P Solid Rivet 3/16 in Stainless Steel

Product Description

The RIVETKING. 18N100RRD3P is a solid rivet with a 3/16-inch body diameter and a round head profile, manufactured from grade 18-8 stainless steel with an uncoated finish. Solid rivets form permanent mechanical fasteners by deforming the tail during installation, creating a strong, vibration-resistant joint. This rivet measures 1 inch in length under the head, making it suitable for light- to medium-gauge material stacks. Stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet, outdoor, or chemically exposed environments. Licensed tradespeople and fabricators working in HVAC, plumbing, pool equipment, or general sheet-metal applications will find this a reliable fastener choice.

This solid rivet is used in applications where a permanent, flush or low-profile fastener is required. Typical install scenarios include joining sheet metal panels, brackets, and structural supports in residential and light commercial equipment assemblies. The round head style distributes clamping load across the surface material, reducing the risk of material deformation around the fastener hole. It is appropriate for both indoor and outdoor assemblies where stainless steel corrosion resistance is a priority.

Key Features

• 3/16-inch body diameter for standard sheet-metal and bracket applications
• 1-inch length under head provides adequate grip range for light- to medium-gauge stacks
• Grade 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet and outdoor environments
• Round head profile distributes load and reduces surface stress at the fastener hole
• Uncoated finish maintains dimensional accuracy and avoids coating delamination over time
• Solid rivet design creates a permanent, vibration-resistant mechanical joint

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solid rivet replacement suitable for general sheet-metal, bracket, and equipment-assembly applications requiring a 3/16-inch body diameter round-head fastener in stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Solid rivets are installed by licensed sheet-metal workers, HVAC technicians, and fabricators using a rivet set and bucking bar or a pneumatic rivet hammer. De-energize and isolate any equipment being serviced before drilling or driving fasteners into enclosures. Ensure the drilled hole diameter matches the rivet body diameter for a proper interference fit. Follow applicable fabrication standards and any equipment manufacturer torque or fastener specifications for the assembly being serviced.
