Rivetking 18N37RFLSP Flat Head Solid Rivet 3/16 in Steel

Product Description

The RIVETKING 18N37RFLSP is a flat head solid rivet manufactured from uncoated steel, designed for permanent mechanical fastening in structural and light fabrication applications. With a body diameter of 3/16 inches and a length under head of 3/8 inches, this rivet is suited for joining sheet metal, brackets, and panel assemblies where a low-profile head is required. Solid rivets provide a strong, vibration-resistant joint and are typically set using a rivet hammer and bucking bar. The uncoated steel finish offers a clean bare-metal surface compatible with painting or coating after installation.

This solid rivet is commonly used in metal fabrication shops, HVAC duct work, equipment enclosure assembly, and general sheet metal applications. The flat head profile seats flush or near-flush against the workpiece surface, making it well suited for applications where clearance is limited or a smooth exterior face is needed. Tradespeople working in HVAC, plumbing rough-in, and general mechanical construction will find this rivet appropriate for light to medium structural joining tasks.

Key Features

• Flat head profile provides a low-profile, near-flush seating surface
• 3/16 inch body diameter suits standard sheet metal and light structural applications
• 3/8 inch length under head accommodates typical thin-material stack-ups
• Uncoated steel construction is compatible with post-installation paint or coating
• Solid rivet design delivers a permanent, vibration-resistant mechanical joint

Compatibility

Designed as a standard solid rivet replacement or new-installation fastener for applications requiring a 3/16 inch body diameter flat head rivet in uncoated steel.

Installation Notes

Solid rivets are typically installed by licensed sheet metal workers or general mechanical tradespeople using a rivet hammer, set, and bucking bar. Always de-energize and isolate any equipment before working on assemblies that house electrical components. Ensure hole diameter matches the rivet body diameter closely to achieve a proper interference fit. Follow applicable industry standards for fastener installation in structural or pressure-bearing assemblies.
