Rivetking. ABS54/P500 Blind Rivet Size 54 500 Pack

Product Description

The RIVETKING. ABS54/P500 is a Size 54 open end blind rivet packaged in a 500-piece pack, designed for use in applications where access is limited to one side of the work material. The rivet features a dome head profile, an aluminum body in alloy grade 5056, and a steel mandrel with a phosphate finish. At a body diameter of 0.1563 inches (5/32 inches) and a grip range of 0.188 to 0.250 inches, this rivet is suited for light-to-medium-gauge assemblies. Tensile strength is rated at 350 pounds and shear strength at 260 pounds. Licensed tradespeople, fabricators, and maintenance technicians typically install this fastener using a standard hand or pneumatic rivet tool.

This rivet is used in residential and commercial applications where a flush-profile, single-side installation is required. Common use cases include sheet metal fabrication, HVAC ductwork assembly, electrical enclosures, and general maintenance repairs. The dome head provides a broad bearing surface. The required hole diameter is 0.160 to 0.164 inches, corresponding to a No. 20 wire gauge drill size. The aluminum body resists corrosion in moderate environments, while the steel mandrel delivers consistent pull force during setting.

Key Features

• Open end design allows single-side installation without access to the back of the workpiece
• Aluminum alloy 5056 body with bright finish provides corrosion resistance
• Steel mandrel with phosphate finish for reliable setting force
• Dome head type with 0.312-inch head diameter and 0.050-inch head height
• Tensile strength of 350 pounds and shear strength of 260 pounds
• Grip range of 0.188 to 0.250 inches accommodates varying material stack thicknesses

Compatibility

Designed for use in pre-drilled holes sized 0.160 to 0.164 inches in diameter, consistent with a No. 20 wire gauge drill. Suitable for aluminum, sheet metal, and similar substrates within the specified grip range.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a standard hand rivet tool or pneumatic rivet gun compatible with 5/32-inch body diameter rivets. Drill or punch holes to the specified diameter range of 0.160 to 0.164 inches before setting. Ensure material thickness falls within the 0.188 to 0.250-inch grip range for proper mandrel break and head seating. Inspect each set rivet for full dome-head contact and flush mandrel break before proceeding.
