Rivetking /ABS66-68MG/P100 Open End Blind Rivet 3/16 in

Product Description

The RIVETKING /ABS66-68MG/P100 is an open end blind rivet with a dome head, aluminum body, and steel mandrel, sold in a package of 100. It is designed for through-fastening applications where access is limited to one side of the workpiece. The body diameter is 3/16 inches, the length under the head is 0.731 inches, and the grip range spans 0.252 to 0.504 inches, accommodating a range of material stack thicknesses. The aluminum body resists corrosion in general-purpose environments while the steel mandrel provides the tensile strength needed to set the rivet reliably. Installers in HVAC, sheet metal, electrical enclosure, and light structural fabrication trades commonly use this fastener.

This rivet is suited for residential and light commercial applications involving thin-gauge sheet metal, ductwork panels, electrical enclosures, equipment housings, and similar assemblies. It is a standard open end style, meaning the mandrel stem breaks off and the tail is left open after setting. The 3/16-inch body diameter and 0.252 to 0.504-inch grip range make it appropriate for fastening single or multiple layers of sheet metal or plastic within that thickness range. The package quantity of 100 is consistent with job-lot use by tradespeople and sheet metal shops.

Key Features

• Open end blind rivet design allows installation from a single side of the workpiece
• Dome head profile provides a low-profile, finished appearance on the visible face
• Aluminum body offers corrosion resistance suitable for general-purpose sheet metal work
• Steel mandrel delivers consistent setting force and reliable break-off
• 3/16-inch body diameter fits standard 3/16-inch drill or punch holes
• Grip range of 0.252 to 0.504 inches covers a variety of material stack thicknesses

Compatibility

Designed as a standard open end blind rivet for use in any manual or pneumatic rivet tool accepting 3/16-inch body diameter rivets with a dome head style.

Installation Notes

This rivet is installed by sheet metal workers, HVAC technicians, and general fabricators using a standard hand or pneumatic rivet gun sized for 3/16-inch rivets. Drill or punch the mating hole to the correct diameter before insertion, and confirm total material thickness falls within the 0.252 to 0.504-inch grip range before setting. Do not attempt to set the rivet in a hole that is undersized or oversized, as this will result in an improperly set fastener. Inspect the set rivet head and tail for full flare and mandrel break before considering the joint complete.
