Rivetking ABS86-88RTP250 Blind Rivet Dome Head 250 Pack

Product Description

The RIVETKING ABS86-88RTP250 is a dome-head blind rivet supplied in a 250-piece package. It features an aluminum body paired with a zinc-plated steel mandrel, making it suitable for general-purpose fastening applications where a clean, rounded head profile is required. The body diameter is 0.25 inches with a grip range of 0.25 to 0.75 inches, accommodating a range of material stack thicknesses. The rivet delivers a tensile strength of 900 pounds and a shear strength of 630 pounds. Installation requires access from one side only, making it a practical choice for assemblies where a rear-access setting tool cannot reach.

This rivet is used across light fabrication, HVAC duct assembly, sheet metal work, and general construction applications. The dome head provides a low-profile finished appearance on the face side. The aluminum body resists corrosion in typical indoor and light outdoor environments, while the zinc-plated steel mandrel adds mandrel integrity during the setting process. Technicians working in HVAC, electrical enclosures, and related sheet metal trades will find this size code 86-88 rivet a standard fit for common panel and bracket fastening tasks.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed using a standard blind rivet setting tool matched to the 0.25-inch body diameter. Drill the mating hole to between 0.257 and 0.261 inches using a letter F drill bit before setting. Ensure all panels being joined are properly aligned and clamped before driving the rivet. Power down and de-energize any electrical enclosure or HVAC unit before performing riveting work on live assemblies.
