Rivetking ABSM3.2X12PL100 Peel Blind Rivet 100-pack

Product Description

The RIVETKING ABSM3.2X12PL100 is a peel blind rivet designed for applications requiring a secure, high-spread grip in thin or soft base materials. The aluminum body and steel mandrel work together to deliver reliable clamping force once set, while the peel design splits the body into multiple legs upon installation, distributing load across a wider area than a standard pop rivet. With a tensile strength of 270 pounds and shear strength of 225 pounds, this rivet handles moderate structural and semi-structural fastening tasks. The dome head profile keeps a low, clean profile on the finished surface. Sold in a box of 100, this SKU suits both shop stock and field use by sheet metal workers, HVAC installers, and general contractors.

This peel blind rivet is suited for joining thin-gauge sheet metal, aluminum panels, plastic substrates, and composite materials where access to only one side of the workpiece is available. The wide peel foot provides strong pull-through resistance in soft or brittle materials such as fiberglass, foam-core panels, and thin plastics. Typical install scenarios include ductwork fabrication, equipment enclosures, trailer panels, and light structural assemblies. The zinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and sheltered outdoor environments.

• Pack of 100 for shop stocking or larger-run field work

Compatibility

Designed for use in pre-drilled holes with a diameter of 0.129 inches, accommodating material stack thicknesses from 0.125 inches to 0.275 inches grip range. Compatible with standard pneumatic and hand-operated blind rivet tools accepting 1/8-inch body diameter rivets.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a blind rivet tool rated for 1/8-inch body diameter fasteners, either hand-lever or pneumatic type. Drill or punch the hole to the specified diameter before setting; an undersized or oversized hole will affect clamp load and peel performance. Ensure the material stack is within the 0.125 to 0.275 inch grip range before selecting this rivet length. Remove any burrs from the hole edge to allow the dome head to seat flush against the surface.
