Rivetking /ABS43-45MG/RT/P500 Blind Rivet 43-45 500pk

Product Description

The RIVETKING /ABS43-45MG/RT/P500 is a dome-head blind rivet designed for one-sided fastening applications where access to the back of the joint is not possible. The aluminum body pairs with a zinc-finished steel mandrel to deliver reliable pull strength in a lightweight fastener. The body diameter measures 0.125 inches (1/8 inch) and the head diameter measures 0.25 inches (1/4 inch). With a tensile strength of 176 pounds and a shear strength of 122 pounds, this rivet handles moderate structural and mechanical assembly loads. Each package contains 500 rivets. This fastener is installed by sheet metal workers, HVAC installers, plumbers, and general contractors using a standard blind rivet puller tool.

The size 43-45 rivet accommodates material stack thicknesses from 0.196 to 0.33 inches and requires a drilled or punched hole between 0.129 and 0.133 inches in diameter, corresponding to a No. 30 wire gauge drill bit. It is suited for aluminum, sheet metal, plastic, and light structural panel assemblies in both residential and light commercial construction and mechanical installation work. The dome head profile sits low and flush enough for most exposed-fastener applications.

Installation Notes

Install using a hand or pneumatic blind rivet puller sized for 1/8-inch body diameter rivets. Before installing, drill or punch the mating hole to between 0.129 and 0.133 inches using a No. 30 drill bit and deburr the hole to ensure full mandrel pull and consistent head seating. Verify total material grip thickness falls within the 0.196 to 0.33 inch range before selecting this rivet for the application. The steel mandrel stem will eject upon pull completion - use appropriate eye protection during installation.
