Rivetking. 18N100RRDAP/110 Round Aluminum Solid Rivet

Product Description

The RIVETKING. 18N100RRDAP/110 is a round-head solid aluminum rivet designed for permanent mechanical fastening in sheet metal, fabrication, and structural assembly applications. It features a 3/16 inch body diameter and a 1 inch length under head, making it suited for light- to medium-gauge material stacks. The rivet body and head are machined from Grade 1100 aluminum, which offers good corrosion resistance and formability during setting. Installation requires a rivet set and bucking bar or equivalent tooling. This fastener is commonly installed by sheet metal workers, maintenance technicians, and fabricators working on HVAC equipment, ductwork, enclosures, and general metal assemblies.

This solid rivet is appropriate for residential and light commercial fabrication work where a flush or round-head permanent fastener is required. Its aluminum construction keeps weight low and resists oxidation in exposed or mildly corrosive environments. Grade 1100 aluminum is a commercially pure alloy well suited to riveting applications that do not demand high shear strength or compliance with military fastener specifications. It is a practical choice for duct panel assembly, equipment housings, and general sheet metal joining tasks performed by HVAC technicians and fabricators.

Key Features

• 3/16 inch body diameter for standard rivet hole sizing in sheet metal work
• 1 inch length under head accommodates typical light- to medium-gauge material stacks
• Grade 1100 aluminum construction provides corrosion resistance and easy cold-working during setting
• Round head style distributes clamping load across the fastened surface
• Solid rivet design creates a permanent, vibration-resistant joint

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solid rivet for general sheet metal and fabrication applications requiring a 3/16 inch diameter round-head aluminum fastener.

Installation Notes

Solid rivets are installed by licensed sheet metal workers or qualified fabricators using a rivet set and bucking bar. Always drill the pilot hole to the correct diameter per fastener specifications and deburr before insertion. Ensure all material layers are clamped flush before driving to prevent gap or misalignment in the joint. This fastener does not meet military specifications and should not be used in applications requiring mil-spec compliance.
