Rivetking ABL0523/BA/P100 Tri Folding Blind Rivet Size 523

Product Description

The RIVETKING ABL0523/BA/P100 is a tri folding blind rivet designed for secure fastening in applications where only one side of the workpiece is accessible. The dome head profile and black anodized aluminum body deliver a clean, corrosion-resistant finish suitable for both structural and aesthetic fastening tasks. With a body diameter of 0.1563 inches (5/32 inches), a tensile strength of 224 pounds, and a shear strength of 134 pounds, this rivet handles moderate load demands. The aluminum mandrel ensures consistent setting performance. Sold in a pack of 100, this SKU suits production runs and service inventories alike. Installation requires a standard 5/32-inch blind rivet tool.

This rivet is suited for sheet metal fabrication, HVAC ductwork, enclosure assembly, and general sheet material fastening where a flush or low-profile dome finish is required. The tri folding design expands radially on the blind side, distributing clamping force across a wider area than a standard open-end rivet. This makes it a reliable choice for thinner or softer base materials where pull-through is a concern. The grip range of 0.04 to 0.275 inches accommodates a variety of material stack-up thicknesses in a single SKU.

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 5/32-inch blind rivet installation tools. Fits hole diameters of 0.165 to 0.178 inches. Suitable as a replacement or equivalent for size 523 dome head blind rivets in aluminum-on-aluminum fastening applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by sheet metal workers, HVAC technicians, fabricators, and general maintenance trades using a hand or pneumatic blind rivet tool sized for 5/32-inch body diameter rivets. Ensure the hole diameter falls within the 0.165 to 0.178-inch range before setting; oversized holes reduce clamp load. Confirm total material stack-up thickness is within the 0.04 to 0.275-inch grip range before selecting this rivet. Do not reuse a set rivet or attempt to reset a spent mandrel.
