Rivetking. 18N50RRDSP Round Steel Solid Rivet 3/16 in

Product Description

The RIVETKING. 18N50RRDSP is a round-head solid steel rivet designed for permanent mechanical fastening in structural and industrial assembly applications. With a body diameter of 3/16 inches and a length under head of 0.5 inches, this rivet is suited for joining sheet metal, brackets, and fabricated assemblies where a driven, non-removable fastener is required. Solid rivets are installed by deforming the tail with a rivet set and bucking bar, producing a strong, vibration-resistant joint. This part is sold individually and is appropriate for trade professionals and fabricators working in mechanical, HVAC sheet metal, or general industrial assembly.

Solid rivets of this size are commonly used in light structural fabrication, HVAC ductwork reinforcement brackets, electrical enclosure assembly, and general sheet metal work. The 3/16-inch body diameter makes this rivet compatible with standard 3/16-inch drilled or punched holes. It is appropriate for both shop fabrication and field repair scenarios where a flush or low-profile round head is required on the driven side.

Key Features

• Solid rivet construction provides a permanent, vibration-resistant mechanical joint
• Round head profile suits applications requiring a low-profile driven-side finish
• 3/16 inch body diameter fits standard 3/16 inch clearance holes
• 0.5 inch length under head accommodates typical light-gauge material stacks
• Steel material offers reliable strength for general fabrication and sheet metal work

Compatibility

Designed as a standard solid rivet replacement or stock item for applications requiring a 3/16 inch body diameter round-head steel rivet with 0.5 inch length under head.

Installation Notes

Solid rivets are installed by licensed sheet metal workers, fabricators, or mechanical tradespeople using a rivet set, hammer, or pneumatic rivet gun along with a bucking bar. Always drill or punch the mating hole to the correct clearance diameter before insertion. Ensure all material layers are clamped tightly before driving to prevent gaps in the joint. Verify that the installed rivet meets any applicable structural or code requirements for the specific assembly.
