Rivetking ABA46/P500 Open End Blind Rivet Size 46 500 Pack

Product Description

The RIVETKING ABA46/P500 is a Size 46 open end blind rivet with a dome head, aluminum body, and aluminum mandrel, sold in a 500-piece package. It features a 1/8-inch body diameter and accepts a grip range of 0.313 to 0.375 inches, making it well-suited for thin-to-medium sheet assemblies. With a tensile strength of 150 pounds and a shear strength of 120 pounds, this rivet meets IFI 114 Grade 11 standards. The aluminum-on-aluminum construction delivers corrosion resistance without adding significant weight. Installed with a standard blind rivet tool, it is a common fastener choice for HVAC fabricators, sheet metal workers, electricians, and general trade applications requiring a clean dome-head finish.

This rivet is used across residential and light commercial applications wherever a blind fastening is needed from one side of the workpiece. Typical uses include ductwork assembly, electrical enclosures, equipment panels, and general sheet metal fabrication. The 0.129 to 0.133 inch hole diameter range corresponds to a No. 30 drill size, which is a standard reference for layout and drilling. The bright aluminum finish suits applications where a clean appearance is required without additional coating.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a standard hand or pneumatic blind rivet tool sized for a 1/8-inch body diameter rivet. Drill the mating hole to the specified No. 30 diameter range (0.129 to 0.133 inches) before setting. Ensure all surfaces are clean and properly aligned prior to driving the mandrel. Wear appropriate eye protection, as the mandrel stem ejects upon setting.
