Rivetking /ABS68-612LFMG/P100 Open End Blind Rivet 3/16 in

Product Description

The RIVETKING /ABS68-612LFMG/P100 is an open end blind rivet with a large flange head, designed for applications where a wider bearing surface is needed to distribute clamping load across softer or thinner materials. The aluminum body pairs with a steel mandrel for reliable setting strength and consistent performance. The body diameter is 3/16 inches, the length under head is 1.065 inches, and the grip range runs from 0.437 inches to 0.750 inches, making it suitable for a range of material stack thicknesses. This rivet is installed by maintenance technicians, sheet metal workers, and assembly professionals using a standard blind rivet tool.

This rivet is used in light fabrication, HVAC duct assembly, enclosure manufacturing, signage, and general sheet metal work where one-sided fastening is required. The large flange head is especially useful when joining softer substrates such as thin aluminum sheet, plastic panels, or composite materials where a standard head diameter could pull through. A package quantity of 100 units supports both single-job use and ongoing production work.

Key Features

• Large flange head provides a wider bearing surface to reduce pull-through on thin or soft materials
• Aluminum body offers corrosion resistance suitable for general indoor and light outdoor applications
• Steel mandrel delivers consistent setting force and reliable mandrel break
• 3/16 inch body diameter fits standard rivet tool nosepieces for that size
• Grip range of 0.437 to 0.750 inches accommodates varying material stack thicknesses
• Packaged in quantities of 100 for job-site and production use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style open end blind rivet for use with standard 3/16 inch capacity blind rivet tools in sheet metal, light fabrication, and assembly applications.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a hand-operated or pneumatic blind rivet tool fitted with a 3/16 inch nosepiece. Insert the rivet body through the pre-drilled hole, seat the flange flat against the work surface, and actuate the tool until the mandrel stem breaks cleanly. Verify grip range matches the combined thickness of the materials being joined before selecting this rivet. Dispose of spent mandrel stems safely to avoid foreign object damage in assemblies.
