Rivetking ABSM4.8X21PL100 Peel Blind Rivet 100 Pack

Product Description

The RIVETKING ABSM4.8X21PL100 is a peel blind rivet with a dome head, designed for fastening applications where access is limited to one side of the workpiece. The aluminum body and steel mandrel deliver reliable clamp force, with a tensile strength of 353 pounds and a shear strength of 405 pounds. The body diameter measures 3/16 inches (0.1875 inches) and the head diameter is 3/8 inches, making this rivet suitable for moderate-load lap joints and panel fastening. A zinc-plated finish adds corrosion resistance. This package contains 100 rivets. Installation is performed by licensed tradespeople, maintenance technicians, and sheet metal fabricators across a range of industries.

This peel blind rivet is used in applications requiring a strong, vibration-resistant blind fastener. The peel design causes the mandrel legs to fold outward on the blind side during setting, distributing the clamping load over a wider area. This makes it well suited for soft or fragile base materials, including plastics, composites, and thin-gauge sheet metal. Typical install scenarios include HVAC duct assembly, electrical enclosure fabrication, panel attachment, and general sheet metal work where only one-sided access is available.

Key Features

• Peel design spreads mandrel legs on blind side for increased bearing area on soft or thin materials
• Aluminum body with steel mandrel balances light weight with reliable setting force
• Zinc-plated finish for added corrosion resistance
• Tensile strength of 353 pounds and shear strength of 405 pounds
• Grip range of 0.188 to 0.630 inches accommodates variable material stack thickness
• Packaged in quantities of 100 for production and service use

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard blind rivet applications requiring a 3/16-inch body diameter rivet set through a hole diameter of 0.196 inches, with a grip range of 0.188 to 0.630 inches.

Installation Notes

This rivet is installed using a standard or pneumatic blind rivet tool sized for 3/16-inch body diameter rivets. Drill or punch the hole to the specified diameter of 0.196 inches before setting. Ensure the material stack is within the stated grip range before pulling the mandrel. Eye protection is recommended during setting, as mandrel stems are ejected at force upon break.
