Rivetking ABS43-44LRTP500 Blind Rivet 500 Pack

Product Description

The RIVETKING ABS43-44LRTP500 is a large flange head blind rivet in size 43-44, sold in a 500-piece package. It features an aluminum body with a zinc-plated finish and a steel mandrel. The body diameter is 0.125 inches, with a grip range of 0.156 to 0.250 inches, making it suitable for joining materials of varying thickness in a single pass from one side. The large flange head measures 0.375 inches in diameter and provides a wider bearing surface to reduce pull-through in softer or thinner base materials. Tensile strength is rated at 176 pounds and shear strength at 122 pounds. Licensed tradespeople and fabricators rely on this rivet for structural and non-structural fastening across a wide range of applications.

This rivet is used in sheet metal fabrication, HVAC ductwork assembly, electrical enclosures, and general mechanical assembly where access is limited to one side of the workpiece. The large flange head is particularly useful when fastening softer substrates such as aluminum sheet, thin-gauge steel, plastics, or composite panels. The 500-piece package quantity suits production environments and service contractors who need consistent, job-ready stock on hand. Installation requires a standard blind rivet tool sized for a 0.125-inch body diameter. The recommended drill size for hole prep is a No. 30 wire gauge drill bit, producing a hole diameter between 0.129 and 0.133 inches.

Key Features

• Large flange head (0.375 inches diameter) provides wider bearing surface to resist pull-through
• Aluminum body with zinc-plated finish offers corrosion resistance in typical indoor and light-duty outdoor environments
• Steel mandrel delivers reliable setting force and consistent flush break
• Grip range of 0.156 to 0.250 inches accommodates a range of material stack thicknesses
• Tensile strength of 176 pounds and shear strength of 122 pounds for dependable load-bearing performance
• 500-piece packaging reduces downtime for high-volume installation or service work

Compatibility

Designed as a standard size 43-44 blind rivet compatible with manual, pneumatic, and battery-powered rivet tools that accept a 0.125-inch body diameter. Hole preparation requires a No. 30 wire gauge drill bit with a finished hole diameter between 0.129 and 0.133 inches.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by sheet metal workers, HVAC technicians, electricians, and general fabricators using a blind rivet tool matched to the 0.125-inch body diameter. Drill holes to the specified size range before setting rivets to ensure proper flange seating and mandrel break. De-burr holes in harder materials to avoid compromising the aluminum body during setting. Follow applicable structural or mechanical codes for fastener spacing and load requirements on the specific assembly.
