Rivetking 18N62RRDSP Round Steel Solid Rivet

Product Description

The RIVETKING 18N62RRDSP is a round head solid steel rivet designed for permanent mechanical fastening applications. With a body diameter of 3/16 inches and a length under head of 0.625 inches (5/8 inches), this rivet is suited for joining sheet metal, structural panels, and fabricated assemblies where a flush or low-profile head is not required. Solid rivets are set by deforming the tail end with a rivet hammer or bucking bar, creating a lasting, vibration-resistant joint. Tradespeople and fabricators select solid rivets when weld-free, tamper-resistant, or structurally reliable permanent fastening is needed.

This solid rivet is appropriate for general industrial and commercial fabrication work, including HVAC ductwork assemblies, electrical enclosures, structural metalwork, and mechanical equipment panels. It is installed by licensed sheet metal workers, mechanical contractors, and fabrication professionals. The round head style suits applications where a wide bearing surface on the driven side is acceptable and where the installed head will not interfere with adjacent components or clearances.

Key Features

• Solid rivet construction provides a permanent, vibration-resistant mechanical joint
• 3/16 inch body diameter suits standard rivet hole sizes in sheet metal and light structural work
• 5/8 inch length under head accommodates typical material stack-up thicknesses
• Round head style provides a wide bearing surface on the head side
• Steel construction delivers reliable shear and tensile strength for general fabrication

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solid rivet for general mechanical fastening applications in sheet metal, fabrication, and light structural assembly work.

Installation Notes

Solid rivets are installed by licensed sheet metal workers or mechanical fabricators using a rivet hammer, pneumatic rivet gun, or bucking bar set. Ensure the mating hole diameter matches the rivet body diameter before driving to prevent looseness or cracking of the base material. Always wear appropriate eye protection when setting solid rivets, as deformation produces metal fragments and noise. Confirm fastener material compatibility with the base material to avoid galvanic corrosion in the finished assembly.
