Rivetking ABA86/BB/P100 Blind Rivet Size 86 Dome Head Aluminum

Product Description

The RIVETKING ABA86/BB/P100 is a structural blind rivet with a locking stem, designed for high-strength fastening applications where access is limited to one side of the workpiece. The aluminum body pairs with an aluminum mandrel to deliver consistent clamp force across a grip range of 0.08 to 0.375 inches. The dome head profile seats flush-friendly against the material surface and the 0.25-inch body diameter suits standard rivet tools. This rivet is installed by licensed tradespeople and maintenance technicians in sheet metal, HVAC duct fabrication, electrical enclosure assembly, and light structural panel work.

The ABA86/BB/P100 is suited for residential and light commercial applications where aluminum-to-aluminum or aluminum-to-steel panel fastening is required. Typical install scenarios include HVAC equipment panels, electrical junction box covers, and sheet metal assemblies where a conventional through-bolt is not practical. The minimum hole diameter required is 0.257 inches and the maximum is 0.261 inches. This package contains 100 rivets per pack, making it appropriate for both single-job use and stocking on a service van.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style structural blind rivet for use with standard manual, pneumatic, or battery-powered rivet tools accepting 0.25-inch body diameter rivets with a Size 86 designation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a rivet gun sized for 0.25-inch body diameter rivets. Drill or punch the hole to between 0.257 and 0.261 inches before setting - undersized holes will prevent proper rivet insertion and oversized holes will reduce clamp load. Insert the rivet fully before pulling the mandrel, and verify the locking stem has seated after the mandrel breaks. Follow applicable structural fastening guidelines and the material manufacturer's specifications for fastener spacing and edge distance.
