Rivetking. ABA64CE/P250 Blind Rivet 3/16 in Aluminum 250 Pack

Product Description

The RIVETKING. ABA64CE/P250 is a size 64 dome head aluminum closed end sealing blind rivet sold in a 250-piece package. The closed end design creates a sealed chamber after installation, preventing liquids and gases from passing through the rivet body. The aluminum body and aluminum mandrel are made from 1100-grade aluminum. The body diameter is 3/16 inches with a 3/8 inch head diameter and a length under head of 0.531 inches. Acceptable hole diameters range from 0.192 to 0.196 inches, with a grip range of 0.188 to 0.25 inches. This fastener is used by sheet metal workers, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general contractors wherever a sealed, watertight rivet joint is required.

Closed end sealing blind rivets are used in applications where the blind side of the joint must remain sealed against moisture, air, or contaminants. Common uses include HVAC ductwork, sheet metal enclosures, gutters, roofing panels, equipment housings, and plumbing access panels. The dome head profile spreads the clamping load over a wider surface area, which reduces the risk of pull-through in thinner or softer base materials. This 250-piece package is suited for service vans, maintenance shops, and trade contractors who require consistent supply on repeat fastening tasks.

Key Features

• Closed end body seals the rivet hole against moisture and air infiltration after installation
• 1100-grade aluminum body and mandrel for corrosion resistance in general-purpose applications
• Dome head profile with 3/8 inch head diameter distributes clamping load across the work surface
• Grip range of 0.188 to 0.25 inches accommodates varying material stack thicknesses
• Meets IFI 126 Grade 9 standard for dimensional and performance consistency
• Rated shear strength of 210 pounds for reliable joint integrity in light structural and sheet metal work

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 3/16 inch blind rivet pulling tools. Intended for installation in holes drilled or punched to a diameter of 0.192 to 0.196 inches in aluminum, steel, or other compatible sheet materials within the stated grip range.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a manual, pneumatic, or battery-powered blind rivet tool sized for 3/16 inch body diameter rivets. Drill or punch the hole to the specified diameter range of 0.192 to 0.196 inches before inserting the rivet. Verify that the total material stack thickness falls within the 0.188 to 0.25 inch grip range before pulling. Discard any rivets with visible mandrel damage or deformed bodies, as these may not achieve the rated shear strength.
