Rivetking ABS64CE/P500 Blind Rivet Size 53 500 Pack

Product Description

The RIVETKING ABS64CE/P500 is a closed end sealing blind rivet engineered for applications where a watertight or airtight seal is required at the blind side of the joint. The aluminum body pairs with a phosphate-finish steel mandrel to resist pull-through and corrosion in demanding environments. At 3/16 inch body diameter with a 3/8 inch dome head, this Size 53 rivet handles grip ranges from 0.188 to 0.250 inches. Tensile strength is rated at 690 pounds and shear strength at 500 pounds, making it suitable for structural and semi-structural fastening tasks across HVAC sheet metal, electrical enclosures, and general trade fabrication work.

This rivet is used in residential and light commercial installations where a sealed fastener is required to prevent fluid or air infiltration through the joint. Common applications include HVAC ductwork assembly, electrical panel fabrication, plumbing fixture mounting, and general metal fabrication where open-end rivets would allow moisture or debris ingress. The 500-piece pack is suited to production workflows and service contractors who require consistent high-volume fastening. The aluminum body material grade 5056 provides good corrosion resistance in wet or chemically active environments.

Key Features

• Closed end design seals the blind side to prevent fluid, air, and debris infiltration

Compatibility

Designed for use in applications requiring a Size 53 closed end blind rivet with a 3/16 inch body diameter. Intended for use in drilled or punched holes sized between 0.192 and 0.196 inches in diameter, consistent with a wire gauge No. 11 drill bit.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a standard or pneumatic blind rivet tool sized for 3/16 inch body diameter rivets. Ensure the mounting hole is drilled or punched to the specified diameter range of 0.192 to 0.196 inches before setting the rivet. De-energize or lock out any electrical panels or powered assemblies before fastening near live components. Do not reuse a rivet once the mandrel has been set and broken.
