Rivetking ABS84/P100 Open End Blind Rivet Size 84 100-pack

Product Description

The RIVETKING ABS84/P100 is an open end blind rivet designed for general fastening applications in metal fabrication, HVAC ductwork assembly, electrical enclosure work, and structural panel installation. The aluminum body paired with a steel mandrel delivers reliable pull strength in mixed-material and sheet metal joints. The dome head profile seats flush against the workpiece surface, providing a clean, low-profile finish. This rivet carries a tensile strength of 920 pounds and a shear strength of 700 pounds, making it suitable for moderate-load structural connections. It ships in a package of 100 rivets, sized for standard production or service work. Licensed tradespeople and fabricators in HVAC, electrical, and plumbing panel work regularly specify this size for day-to-day fastening tasks.

The ABS84/P100 is suited for residential and light commercial applications wherever a 1/4-inch body diameter blind rivet is required. It accommodates a grip range of 0.02 to 0.25 inches, making it versatile across thin-gauge and multi-layer sheet metal assemblies. The required hole diameter is 0.257 to 0.261 inches, corresponding to a drill size F. HVAC installers, sheet metal workers, and electrical enclosure fabricators will find this rivet fits standard pop rivet tools rated for 1/4-inch stock. The aluminum body with bright finish resists light corrosion in indoor environments, while the phosphate-coated steel mandrel ensures consistent mandrel break during installation.

Key Features

• Open end dome head design provides a clean, low-profile seat on the workpiece surface
• Aluminum 5056 alloy body with bright finish for corrosion resistance in indoor and light-duty applications
• Steel mandrel with phosphate finish for consistent mandrel break and reliable set
• Tensile strength of 920 pounds and shear strength of 700 pounds for moderate-load fastening
• Grip range of 0.02 to 0.25 inches accommodates thin to multi-layer sheet metal stacks
• Pack of 100 rivets sized for production runs and service calls

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard pop rivet installation tools that accept 1/4-inch body diameter rivets and require a drill size F pilot hole (0.257 to 0.261 inches). Suitable for aluminum, steel, and mixed-material sheet assemblies within the stated grip range.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a pop rivet tool rated for 1/4-inch rivets; ensure the tool mandrel chuck is clean and undamaged before use. Drill the pilot hole to 0.257 to 0.261 inches using a letter-F drill bit and deburr the hole before inserting the rivet. Verify the total material stack falls within the 0.02 to 0.25-inch grip range to ensure a proper set and full mandrel break. Dispose of spent mandrels to prevent foreign object debris in enclosures or ductwork.
