Rivetking 18N25RFL3P Solid Rivet 3/16 in Stainless Steel

Product Description

The RIVETKING 18N25RFL3P is a solid rivet with a round head profile, manufactured from Grade 18-8 stainless steel with an uncoated finish. It measures 3/16 inches in body diameter and 1/4 inch in length under the head. Solid rivets form a permanent mechanical fastener by deforming the tail end during installation, creating a tight, vibration-resistant joint. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for wet, outdoor, and chemically exposed environments. Licensed tradespeople and fabricators specify this rivet type where disassembly is not required and joint integrity is a priority.

This solid rivet is suited for sheet metal fabrication, structural assemblies, marine applications, and general industrial use where stainless steel corrosion resistance is required. Its compact 3/16 inch body diameter fits standard rivet holes in thin to medium gauge material. The uncoated surface is compatible with stainless fastener applications where plating or coating would risk galvanic incompatibility with mating materials. It is commonly installed in HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, marine hardware, and light structural panel work.

Key Features

• Grade 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor environments
• Solid rivet design creates a permanent, vibration-resistant mechanical joint
• 3/16 inch body diameter fits standard rivet hole sizing for thin to medium gauge material
• 1/4 inch length under head suitable for thin material stack-ups
• Uncoated finish avoids galvanic compatibility issues with stainless mating surfaces
• Round head profile provides a broad bearing surface on the material face

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solid rivet replacement for general fabrication and assembly applications requiring a 3/16 inch body diameter round head rivet in Grade 18-8 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Solid rivets are installed by a tradesperson or fabricator using a rivet set and bucking bar or a pneumatic rivet hammer. Power down or de-energize any assembly before working on electrical enclosures or panels. Pre-drill the mating hole to the correct diameter for a 3/16 inch body rivet to ensure proper fit and tail deformation. Do not substitute a solid rivet for a blind rivet application where the back side of the joint is inaccessible.
