Rivetking. FBF46/P100 Open End Blind Rivet Ss 100-pack

Product Description

The RIVETKING. FBF46/P100 is a Size 46 open end blind rivet with an 18-8 stainless steel body and an 18-8 stainless steel mandrel, sold in a 100-piece package. The dome head profile sits 0.04 inches high with a head diameter of 0.25 inches. Body diameter is 0.125 inches, requiring a hole diameter between 0.129 and 0.133 inches. Length under head is 0.525 inches. Tensile strength is 530 pounds and shear strength is 420 pounds. This rivet is suited for corrosion-resistant fastening applications where both the body and mandrel material must resist oxidation and chemical exposure.

The FBF46/P100 is appropriate for light structural and sheet-material assemblies in HVAC, plumbing, electrical enclosure, and general sheet metal fabrication work. The open end design allows the mandrel to pull and break off inside the rivet body, expanding it to clamp materials with a grip range of 0.313 to 0.375 inches. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it well suited for outdoor, wet, or mildly corrosive environments. Trades installing equipment panels, junction boxes, duct sections, or sheet metal brackets in commercial or residential settings will find this rivet a reliable fastening option.

Compatibility

Designed for use in applications requiring a Size 46 open end blind rivet with a 0.125-inch body diameter and a hole diameter range of 0.129 to 0.133 inches, consistent with standard sheet metal and light structural fastening across HVAC, electrical, and plumbing trades.

Installation Notes

A licensed sheet metal mechanic, HVAC technician, or electrician typically installs blind rivets during equipment panel assembly or enclosure fabrication. Use a standard blind rivet puller sized for a 0.125-inch body diameter. Ensure the mating hole is drilled to the correct diameter using a Number 30 drill bit before setting the rivet. De-energize any electrical equipment and shut off relevant systems before fastening panels or covers.
