Rivetking /ABS41-43MG/RT/P500 Blind Rivet 500-pack

Product Description

The RIVETKING /ABS41-43MG/RT/P500 is a dome-head blind rivet with an aluminum body and a zinc-finished steel mandrel, sold in a pack of 500. Sized at 41-43, it features a 0.125-inch body diameter and accepts a grip range of 0.039 to 0.187 inches, making it well-suited for fastening thin to medium material stacks without requiring rear access. The tensile strength of 176 pounds and shear strength of 122 pounds provide reliable holding power in light structural and sheet-metal applications. HVAC fabricators, plumbers, electricians, and general sheet-metal workers commonly install these rivets on ductwork, brackets, junction boxes, and equipment enclosures.

This rivet is designed for blind-fastening applications where only one side of the workpiece is accessible. The dome head profile offers a low-profile finish suitable for panels, covers, and flanged assemblies. The minimum hole diameter of 0.129 inches and maximum of 0.133 inches correspond to a No. 30 drill size, allowing straightforward hole preparation with standard step drills or drill bits. Typical applications include HVAC duct assemblies, electrical enclosure panels, plumbing equipment supports, and general sheet-metal fabrication in both residential and light commercial settings.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard blind rivet replacement for applications requiring a size 41-43 dome-head rivet with a 0.125-inch body diameter and a grip range up to 0.187 inches.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a standard blind rivet tool or pneumatic rivet gun sized for 0.125-inch body rivets. Drill or punch the workpiece to a hole diameter between 0.129 and 0.133 inches before installing. Ensure all material layers are clamped firmly together before setting the rivet to achieve full grip engagement. Do not exceed the rated grip range, as under- or over-length installations reduce joint integrity.
