Rivetking ABS68LF/P250 Blind Rivet Size 68 250 Pack

Product Description

The RIVETKING ABS68LF/P250 is a size 68 open end blind rivet with a large flange dome head, designed for fastening applications where access is limited to one side of the workpiece. The aluminum body paired with a steel mandrel delivers reliable tensile strength of 500 pounds and shear strength of 380 pounds. The body diameter is 3/16 inches, and the large flange head diameter measures 5/8 inches, distributing clamp load over a wider surface area. This rivet is sold in a package quantity of 250. Installation is performed using a standard blind rivet pull tool and requires a number 11 drill bit or equivalent hole preparation.

This rivet is suited for sheet metal assembly, HVAC ductwork fabrication, electrical enclosures, light structural panels, and general manufacturing or maintenance applications. The large flange head style is particularly useful when fastening softer or thinner materials where a standard flange head could pull through. The grip range of 0.376 to 0.500 inches accommodates a range of material stack thicknesses, making this part a versatile choice for technicians working across varying material gauges in the field or shop.

Compatibility

Designed for use in any application requiring a 3/16-inch body diameter open end blind rivet with a large flange dome head and a grip range of 0.376 to 0.500 inches. Requires a hole diameter between 0.192 and 0.196 inches, typically produced with a number 11 drill bit.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by sheet metal workers, HVAC technicians, electricians, and general maintenance technicians using a standard hand or pneumatic blind rivet puller rated for 3/16-inch body diameter rivets. Drill the workpiece to the specified hole diameter range of 0.192 to 0.196 inches before setting the rivet. Ensure all mating materials are clamped flush before pulling the mandrel to achieve full grip engagement. Spent mandrel stems should be collected and disposed of safely to prevent FOD hazards in the work area.
