Rivetking ABSM4.8X10PL100 Peel Blind Rivet 100 Pack

Product Description

The RIVETKING ABSM4.8X10PL100 is a peel blind rivet designed for applications requiring a strong, controlled-expansion grip in soft or brittle base materials. The rivet features a dome head profile, an aluminum body with a zinc-plated finish, and a steel mandrel. On installation, the mandrel pulls the aluminum body into a characteristic petal pattern that spreads load across a wide area on the blind side. Body diameter is 3/16 inch (0.1875 inches), head diameter is 3/8 inch, and the grip range spans 0.188 to 0.197 inches. Tensile strength is rated at 353 pounds and shear strength at 405 pounds. Sold in a package quantity of 100.

Peel blind rivets are used where conventional solid rivets are inaccessible from one side. Typical applications include thin sheet metal assemblies, ductwork, enclosures, electrical panels, signage, and light structural fabrication. The wide-petal expansion pattern distributes clamping force evenly, making this rivet well suited for thin or fragile substrates such as plastics, composites, and thin-gauge aluminum or steel sheet. HVAC fabricators, sheet metal workers, electricians, and general contractors commonly install this fastener in both residential and commercial construction settings.

Key Features

• Peel-style expansion distributes clamping load across a wide blind-side footprint
• Aluminum body with zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance in typical indoor environments
• Steel mandrel provides consistent pull force and clean break during installation
• Dome head profile sits flush-adjacent and resists pull-through on thin materials
• 353-pound tensile strength and 405-pound shear strength for reliable mechanical hold
• Packaged in quantities of 100 for jobsite and bench use

Compatibility

Designed for use in materials requiring a minimum hole diameter of 0.196 inches with a grip range of 0.188 to 0.197 inches. Suitable for thin sheet metal, plastics, composites, and similar substrates where blind-side access is limited.

Installation Notes

Install with a standard manual or pneumatic blind rivet tool sized for 3/16-inch body diameter rivets. Drill or punch the hole to the specified diameter before inserting the rivet - an undersized hole will prevent full seating and an oversized hole will reduce clamp load. Confirm the grip range matches the total material stack thickness before selecting this fastener. Inspect the blind-side petal expansion after installation where access permits to verify full deployment.
