Rivetking ABA814/P50 Open End Blind Rivet 50 Pack

Product Description

The RIVETKING ABA814/P50 is an open end blind rivet designed for applications where only one side of the workpiece is accessible. Featuring a dome head profile and a 1/4 inch body diameter, this rivet accepts an aluminum mandrel and installs with a standard rivet tool. The grip range spans 3/4 inch to 7/8 inch, making it suited for consistent clamping across that thickness range. Both the body and mandrel are aluminum, keeping weight low and providing adequate corrosion resistance for general fabrication and assembly work. Each package contains 50 rivets. Installers in HVAC, electrical, and sheet metal trades commonly stock this size for panel fastening, ductwork, and bracket assembly.

This rivet is appropriate for light- to medium-duty fastening in residential and commercial applications. Typical uses include securing sheet metal panels, attaching brackets to enclosures, joining thin-gauge aluminum or steel components, and general assembly where access is limited to a single side. The size 8-14 designation corresponds to the body diameter and grip range classification standard for blind rivets.

Key Features

• Open end design allows mandrel stem to pull through and lock, creating a secure blind fastener
• Dome head profile sits flush and distributes load across the material surface
• 1/4 inch body diameter fits standard rivet tool nosepieces for that size
• Grip range of 3/4 inch to 7/8 inch accommodates consistent material stack thicknesses
• All-aluminum construction - body and mandrel - reduces weight and resists general corrosion
• Sold in a 50-count package, suitable for job-site or shop use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard blind rivet for use with manual, pneumatic, or battery-powered rivet tools configured for a 1/4 inch nosepiece. Compatible with typical sheet metal, aluminum, and light steel panel assemblies in HVAC, electrical enclosure, and general fabrication applications.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a rivet tool fitted with a 1/4 inch nosepiece matched to the body diameter of this rivet. Pre-drill the workpiece to the correct hole diameter before inserting the rivet body. Pull the mandrel until it snaps, then clear the spent mandrel stem from the work area. Ensure the material stack falls within the 3/4 inch to 7/8 inch grip range before selecting this rivet to guarantee a proper clinch.
