Rivetking. ABS44CE/P500 Blind Rivet 1/8 in Body 500 Pack

Product Description

The RIVETKING. ABS44CE/P500 is a size 44 dome head aluminum blind rivet with a closed end sealing design and a phosphate-finished steel mandrel. The closed end construction prevents fluids and gases from passing through the rivet body after installation, making it suitable for applications where a liquid or airtight seal is required. The aluminum body is made from 5056 alloy, offering corrosion resistance in demanding environments. With a body diameter of 1/8 inch, a grip range of 0.188 inches to 0.25 inches, and a shear strength of 240 pounds, this rivet is a reliable fastener for sheet metal, HVAC ductwork, enclosures, and general fabrication work.

This rivet is used in residential and light commercial applications where a sealed blind fastener is needed and access is available from one side only. Common installation scenarios include HVAC duct assembly, electrical enclosures, metal roofing panels, and sheet metal fabrication. The 0.129 inch to 0.133 inch hole diameter requirement is consistent with standard 1/8 inch drill tooling. This package contains 500 rivets, making it appropriate for production-level or repetitive service work.

Compatibility

Designed for use in applications requiring a 1/8 inch body diameter blind rivet with a 0.129 inch to 0.133 inch drilled or punched hole. Compatible with standard manual, pneumatic, and battery-powered blind rivet tools that accept 1/8 inch mandrel nosepieces.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a rivet tool sized for 1/8 inch blind rivets. Drill or punch the hole to the specified 0.129 inch to 0.133 inch diameter before setting to ensure proper mandrel pull and head seating. Inspect the set rivet for a fully formed dome head and confirm the mandrel stem has broken cleanly flush with or below the head surface. Wear appropriate eye protection during installation, as mandrel stems are ejected under force.
