Rivetking ABSM4X18PL100 Peel Blind Rivet 100 Pack

Product Description

The RIVETKING ABSM4X18PL100 is a peel blind rivet designed for applications requiring a wide-flange grip on the blind side of a joint. The aluminum body and steel mandrel construction give this rivet a reliable balance of light weight and mechanical strength. When set, the mandrel causes the body to split and fold back into multiple petals, spreading the clamping load over a larger surface area than a standard blind rivet. This action is especially useful when fastening into soft, thin, or brittle base materials. The rivet delivers a tensile strength of 325 pounds and a shear strength of 324 pounds. Installed by sheet metal workers, HVAC fabricators, and general assembly technicians using a standard rivet tool.

This peel blind rivet is suited for light-gauge metal fabrication, HVAC ductwork assembly, enclosure panels, and similar thin-material joining tasks where back-side access is limited. The zinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion resistance for interior and sheltered applications. With a grip range of 0.157 to 0.551 inches, it accommodates a relatively wide range of material stack thicknesses, reducing the need for multiple rivet lengths on a single job. The 100-piece package supports production runs and service kit restocking.

Key Features

• Peel design spreads load across a wide blind-side flange for use in soft or thin materials
• Tensile strength of 325 pounds and shear strength of 324 pounds
• Wide grip range of 0.157 to 0.551 inches accommodates varied material stack thicknesses
• Aluminum body with steel mandrel balances corrosion resistance and setting strength
• Zinc-plated finish for basic corrosion protection in interior or sheltered environments
• Dome head profile with a 0.315-inch head diameter and 0.067-inch head height

Compatibility

Designed for use in applications requiring a 5/32-inch (0.165-inch) hole diameter. Compatible with standard manual and pneumatic rivet tools that accept 5/32-inch nose pieces.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a standard blind rivet tool sized for 5/32-inch body diameter rivets. Drill or punch the mating hole to the specified diameter before setting. Verify total material thickness falls within the 0.157 to 0.551-inch grip range before selecting this rivet for the application. Inspect the set rivet for full petal deployment and flush mandrel break before moving to the next fastener.
