Rivetking. ABS88/P100 Blind Rivet Size 88 Dome Head 100 Pack

Product Description

The RIVETKING. ABS88/P100 is a Size 88 open end blind rivet with a dome head, aluminum body, and steel mandrel, packaged in a quantity of 100. It is designed for one-sided fastening applications where access to the back of the workpiece is not possible. The body diameter measures 0.25 inches and the head diameter is 0.5 inches, with a grip range of 0.376 to 0.5 inches. The aluminum 5056 alloy body delivers a tensile strength of 920 pounds and a shear strength of 700 pounds. This rivet is used by industrial assemblers, contractors, and trade professionals working in metal fabrication, HVAC ductwork assembly, electrical enclosures, and general structural fastening.

The ABS88/P100 suits applications calling for a standard 1/4-inch body diameter rivet in material stacks from 0.376 to 0.5 inches thick. The required drill size is Letter F (0.257 to 0.261 inches hole diameter). The bright-finish aluminum body and phosphate-coated steel mandrel make this rivet suitable for interior and light-duty exterior installations where mild corrosion resistance is acceptable. It is a practical choice for HVAC fabricators, sheet metal workers, and general contractors needing a reliable bulk-pack open end rivet for repetitive fastening tasks.
