Rivetking ABS42/P500 Open End Blind Rivet Size 42 500pk

Product Description

The RIVETKING ABS42/P500 is a Size 42 open end blind rivet designed for through-hole fastening applications where access to only one side of the workpiece is available. It features an aluminum 5056-grade body paired with a steel mandrel and a dome head profile. The body diameter is 0.125 inches, the head diameter is 0.25 inches, and the grip range runs from 0.063 to 0.125 inches. With a tensile strength of 220 pounds and a shear strength of 170 pounds, this rivet delivers reliable pull-out and lateral load performance in structural and non-structural assemblies. It is sold in a package of 500 units. This rivet is installed by electricians, sheet metal workers, HVAC fabricators, plumbers, and general contractors.

The ABS42/P500 is suited for light- to medium-duty fastening tasks in residential and commercial construction, HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, sheet metal panels, and equipment fabrication. A drill size of No. 30 wire gauge corresponds to a hole diameter range of 0.129 to 0.133 inches. The dome head sits 0.04 inches tall and provides a low-profile finished appearance on visible surfaces. The bright finish on the rivet body and phosphate finish on the mandrel provide basic corrosion resistance for interior and protected exterior applications.

Compatibility

Designed for use in applications requiring a Size 42 open end blind rivet with a 0.125-inch body diameter and a hole diameter of 0.129 to 0.133 inches, compatible with standard blind rivet installation tools that accept this body size.

Installation Notes

Install with a manual or pneumatic blind rivet tool rated for the appropriate mandrel diameter. Drill the mating hole to the specified diameter range of 0.129 to 0.133 inches using a No. 30 drill bit. Ensure material stack thickness falls within the 0.063 to 0.125-inch grip range before setting. Do not exceed the rated tensile or shear load in structural load-bearing joints without engineering review.
