Rivetking ABL0640/P100 Tri Folding Blind Rivet 100 Pack

Product Description

The RIVETKING ABL0640/P100 is a tri folding blind rivet designed for permanent fastening in applications where only one side of the material is accessible. Featuring a dome head profile and all-aluminum construction in both body and mandrel, this rivet delivers reliable clamping force across a grip range of 0.157 to 0.625 inches. The 3/16-inch body diameter fits holes ranging from 0.196 to 0.209 inches. With a tensile strength of 269 pounds and a shear strength of 202 pounds, it is well suited for structural and non-structural assemblies in sheet metal, fabrication, and general construction work. Sold in a pack of 100.

This rivet is appropriate for use in light to medium-duty fastening applications across residential construction, HVAC ductwork assembly, metal fabrication shops, trailer manufacturing, and general mechanical assembly. The tri folding design expands behind the work surface on installation, distributing clamp load over a wider area than a standard rivet. This makes it particularly useful when joining thin or soft base materials where pull-through resistance matters. Licensed sheet metal workers, HVAC installers, fabricators, and general contractors are the typical installers for this fastener type.

Key Features

• Body diameter of 0.1875 inches fits hole diameters from 0.196 to 0.209 inches

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/16-inch body blind rivet for use with rivet tools accepting that mandrel diameter, suitable for aluminum-to-aluminum and aluminum-to-steel sheet fastening in general trade and fabrication applications.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a hand-operated or pneumatic blind rivet tool sized for a 3/16-inch mandrel. Verify hole diameter is within the 0.196 to 0.209-inch range before setting the rivet to ensure proper expansion and clamp load. Insert the rivet body fully into the prepared hole before actuating the tool, and confirm the dome head seats flush against the material surface. Mandrel break-off is normal upon full set; inspect the finished head for deformation or incomplete pull-through before considering the joint complete.
