Rivetking. 18N37RRDSP Solid Steel Rivet 3/16 Inch Round Head

Product Description

The RIVETKING. 18N37RRDSP is a solid steel rivet with a round head profile, designed for permanent mechanical fastening in structural and general-purpose assembly applications. The body diameter measures 3/16 inches with a length under head of 0.375 inches. Constructed from uncoated steel, this rivet is driven using a rivet set and bucking bar, deforming the tail to create a flush, permanent joint. It is a standard solid rivet suitable for metalworking, fabrication shops, and maintenance applications where a driven rivet is the specified fastener type.

This rivet is used in light fabrication, sheet metal assembly, and general mechanical fastening where a solid, non-hollow fastener is required. The round head profile sits above the mating surface and is commonly specified in structural panel work, brackets, and frame assemblies. It is installed by tradespersons and fabricators working in production, maintenance, or field repair environments.

Key Features

• Solid rivet construction for permanent, high-strength mechanical joints
• 3/16 inch body diameter suits standard rivet holes in light to medium gauge steel
• 0.375 inch length under head accommodates typical single or double sheet stack-ups
• Round head profile distributes clamping load across the surface
• Uncoated steel finish for use where surface treatment is applied post-installation or not required
• Does not meet military specifications - intended for commercial and industrial applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard stock solid rivet for commercial and industrial fabrication applications requiring a 3/16 inch body diameter round head solid rivet.

Installation Notes

Solid rivets are installed by licensed fabricators and sheet metal workers using a rivet set and bucking bar or pneumatic rivet hammer. Power down all associated equipment and secure the workpiece before driving. Verify hole diameter and grip range match the rivet specifications before installation. Do not substitute solid rivets with blind or semi-tubular fasteners unless the joint design explicitly allows it.
