Rivetking ABA86/STR/P100 Structural Blind Rivet Size 86

Product Description

The RIVETKING ABA86/STR/P100 is a structural blind rivet with a locking stem, designed for high-load fastening applications where joint integrity under tensile and shear stress is critical. The rivet features a dome head, aluminum body, and aluminum mandrel. With a body diameter of 0.25 inches and a grip range of 0.08 to 0.375 inches, this rivet suits a wide range of material stack thicknesses. Tensile strength is rated at 830 pounds and shear strength at 1,270 pounds, meeting IFI 134 standards. This style of rivet is commonly installed by sheet metal workers, HVAC fabricators, and mechanical contractors working with aluminum assemblies.

This rivet is suited for structural joining of aluminum panels, brackets, ductwork components, and light structural assemblies in both residential and commercial applications. The locking stem design retains the mandrel after setting, increasing pull-out resistance and making this rivet appropriate for load-bearing or vibration-prone joints. The dome head profile provides a low-profile, finished appearance on the accessible side of the fastened material. Each package contains 100 rivets.

Compatibility

Designed for use in material thicknesses within the 0.08 to 0.375-inch grip range. Requires a drilled or punched hole sized between 0.261 and 0.272 inches in diameter; recommended drill size is letter G. Suitable for aluminum-to-aluminum and similar light-gauge structural assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a standard or heavy-duty blind rivet tool capable of handling structural locking-stem rivets. Drill or punch the hole to the specified diameter range of 0.261 to 0.272 inches before setting. Ensure all mating surfaces are clean and properly aligned prior to fastening. Locking-stem rivets should not be installed with standard pop-rivet tools not rated for structural mandrel retention.
