Rivetking ABSM4.8X27PL100 Peel Blind Rivet 100 Pack

Product Description

The RIVETKING ABSM4.8X27PL100 is a dome-head peel blind rivet designed for applications where the blind side of the joint requires a wide, distributed clamp load. The aluminum body with steel mandrel construction gives this rivet a balance of corrosion resistance and pulling strength. With a body diameter of 0.1875 inches (3/16 inches), a grip range of 0.188 to 0.866 inches, and a zinc-plated finish, it handles a broad range of material stack thicknesses in a single SKU. Tensile strength is rated at 353 pounds and shear strength at 405 pounds. This package contains 100 rivets.

Peel blind rivets are used when the mandrel-driven petal expansion on the blind side must grip soft, fragile, or uneven materials without pulling through. Typical applications include fastening insulation panels, thin sheet metal, plastics, wood composites, and similar low-density substrates in HVAC ductwork fabrication, electrical enclosures, RV and trailer assembly, and light structural assembly work. The 0.866-inch maximum grip makes this rivet suitable for joining thicker multi-layer stacks where a standard blind rivet would bottom out before achieving full clamp. Installers in sheet metal, mechanical, and general construction trades use this rivet regularly.

Key Features

• Peel design expands blind-side petals for wide load distribution on soft or thin materials
• Aluminum body resists corrosion in light-duty interior and semi-exposed environments
• Steel mandrel provides consistent pull force and reliable stem break
• Zinc-plated finish adds surface protection
• Wide grip range of 0.188 to 0.866 inches accommodates varied stack thicknesses
• Rated 353 pounds tensile and 405 pounds shear strength

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard blind rivet tools accepting 3/16-inch body diameter rivets. Suitable for aluminum, steel, plastic, and composite substrates within the stated grip and hole diameter range.

Installation Notes

Install with a hand, pneumatic, or battery-powered blind rivet tool sized for a 3/16-inch mandrel. Drill or punch the mating hole to 0.196 inches for proper fit. Confirm total material stack thickness falls within the 0.188 to 0.866-inch grip range before setting. Do not attempt to re-use a set rivet or reset a spent mandrel.
