Rivetking 18N150RRDSP Round Steel Solid Rivet

Product Description

The RIVETKING 18N150RRDSP is a round-head solid steel rivet designed for permanent mechanical fastening in structural and fabrication applications. With a body diameter of 3/16 inches and a length under head of 1.5 inches, this rivet is suited for joining metal components where a strong, non-removable fastener is required. Solid rivets are set by deforming the tail end using a rivet set and bucking bar, creating a secure clinch that holds materials together without threads or adhesives. This part is appropriate for general industrial, sheet metal, and maintenance work performed by qualified tradespeople and fabricators.

This solid rivet is commonly used in sheet metal assemblies, HVAC ductwork fabrication, structural panel attachment, and general-purpose metal joining tasks. The round head profile distributes clamping load evenly across the workpiece surface, making it well suited for applications where flush or countersunk heads are not required. It is appropriate for use in both light fabrication shops and field service repair work.

Key Features

• 3/16 inch body diameter for standard-gauge metal joining
• 1.5 inch length under head accommodates moderate material stack thickness
• Round head profile provides broad load distribution on the clamping face
• Solid steel construction delivers high shear and tensile strength
• Permanent fastening without threads, reducing the risk of loosening under vibration

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose solid rivet for use in applications requiring a 3/16 inch diameter round-head fastener in steel material.

Installation Notes

Solid rivets are installed by qualified sheet metal workers or fabricators using a rivet set, hammer, or pneumatic rivet gun along with a bucking bar to form the tail. Always drill or punch the correct clearance hole diameter before insertion to ensure proper fit and clinch formation. Wear appropriate eye and hand protection during installation, as rivet-setting generates significant impact force and metal debris. Verify material stack thickness does not exceed the grip range supported by the rivet length before installation.
