Rivetking. FBF44CE/P100 Blind Rivet Size 44 Dome Head 100 Pack

Product Description

The RIVETKING. FBF44CE/P100 is a closed end sealing blind rivet designed for applications where moisture exclusion and vibration resistance are critical. Size 44, this rivet features a dome head profile with a stainless steel body and stainless steel mandrel, making it suited for corrosive or wet environments. The body diameter is 0.125 inches, with a grip range of 0.188 to 0.25 inches and a length under head of 0.485 inches. Tensile strength is rated at 450 pounds and shear strength at 400 pounds. Licensed fastener technicians, maintenance mechanics, and trade professionals installing equipment in marine, food service, HVAC, or outdoor environments rely on this style of rivet where watertight fastening is required.

This closed end blind rivet is used when the hollow post of a standard open-end rivet would allow fluid, air, or contaminants to pass through the fastened joint. Typical applications include sheet metal enclosures, HVAC equipment panels, outdoor electrical enclosures, pool and spa equipment housings, and marine hardware. The stainless steel construction resists rust and chemical exposure. Sold in a package of 100, this SKU suits both service technicians carrying shop stock and contractors purchasing for project quantities.

Compatibility

Designed for use in applications requiring a Size 44 closed end sealing blind rivet with a body diameter of 0.125 inches and a hole diameter range of 0.129 to 0.133 inches, installed using a Number 30 drill size pilot hole.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a standard blind rivet pulling tool sized for a 0.125-inch body diameter. Drill the pilot hole to the specified Number 30 drill size before setting the rivet. Power down or de-energize any electrical enclosure or equipment panel before fastener work begins. Do not substitute an open-end rivet where a sealing rivet is specified, as the closed end configuration is critical to the moisture or pressure barrier function of the joint.
