Rivetking. ABS53/P500 Blind Rivet Size 53 Dome Head 500 Pack

Product Description

The RIVETKING. ABS53/P500 is a size 53 open end blind rivet with a dome head, aluminum body, and steel mandrel, sold in a pack of 500. It is designed for one-sided fastening applications where access to the back of the joint is not possible. The 5056-grade aluminum body provides solid corrosion resistance, while the phosphate-coated steel mandrel delivers consistent pull strength. With a tensile strength of 350 pounds and a shear strength of 260 pounds, this rivet is well suited to structural and non-structural sheet metal, fabrication, and light industrial assembly work. Installation is performed using a standard hand or pneumatic blind rivet tool.

The ABS53/P500 fits applications across HVAC sheet metal work, electrical enclosure assembly, light structural fabrication, and general mechanical assembly. The 0.1563-inch body diameter and 0.126 to 0.187-inch grip range make it appropriate for joining thin to mid-gauge sheet stock. The bright finish on the rivet body and phosphate finish on the mandrel provide basic surface protection for indoor and light-outdoor environments. This rivet is a standard choice for contractors, fabricators, and maintenance technicians working with aluminum and steel sheet assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by sheet metal workers, fabricators, and mechanical technicians using a hand-operated or pneumatic blind rivet tool. Drill the hole to the specified diameter range of 0.1600 to 0.1640 inches before setting the rivet. Ensure all material layers are clamped flush before pulling the mandrel to achieve proper grip. Remove or contain spent mandrel stems after installation to prevent debris in assemblies or enclosures.
