Rivetking ABS68CE/P100 Blind Rivet Size 6-8 100 Pack

Product Description

The RIVETKING ABS68CE/P100 is a closed end sealing blind rivet designed for applications where liquid and gas infiltration through the rivet hole must be prevented. The closed end design fully seals the mandrel hole after installation, making it suitable for use in wet environments, pressurized assemblies, and anywhere an open-end rivet would allow moisture or air passage. The aluminum body pairs with a steel mandrel for reliable pull strength and corrosion resistance in light- to medium-duty fastening work. At 3/16 inches body diameter and a grip range of 0.376 to 0.500 inches, this rivet fits a well-established size 6-8 application window. Sold in a package quantity of 100.

This rivet is commonly used by plumbers, HVAC sheet metal workers, electricians, and general trade contractors when fastening aluminum panels, ductwork components, junction boxes, equipment covers, or similar assemblies where the joint must remain sealed against moisture or airflow. The dome head profile provides a low-profile finished appearance on the accessible face and distributes clamping load across the surface material. It is well suited to residential and light commercial construction and mechanical service work where sealed fastening is required and only one side of the material is accessible.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a standard blind rivet tool or pneumatic rivet gun rated for 3/16 inches aluminum rivets. Verify the combined material stack thickness falls within the 0.376 to 0.500 inch grip range before setting; using this rivet outside its grip range will result in incomplete mandrel break or inadequate clamping force. Drill or punch the pilot hole to the appropriate diameter for a 3/16 inches body rivet per the tool and material manufacturer guidance. De-energize or shut off any system the panel or enclosure is part of before beginning fastening work.
