Rivetking SBS44/P500 Open End Blind Rivet Size 44 500 Pack

Product Description

The RIVETKING SBS44/P500 is a Size 44 open end blind rivet with a dome head, steel body, and steel mandrel, sold in a 500-piece pack. It is designed for single-side fastening in applications where access to the back of the joint is limited or impossible. The body diameter is 0.125 inches, the grip range runs from 0.188 to 0.25 inches, and the head diameter is 0.25 inches. The mandrel carries a phosphate finish for corrosion resistance during installation. With a tensile strength of 310 pounds and shear strength of 260 pounds, this rivet is suited for structural and semi-structural blind fastening tasks in sheet metal, HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and general fabrication work.

This rivet is a standard choice for HVAC sheet metal fabrication, electrical panel assembly, light structural fabrication, and general trade maintenance. The Size 44 designation and 0.125-inch body diameter make it compatible with No. 30 drill-size holes, which are commonly pre-drilled in light-gauge steel, aluminum, and similar materials. The 500-piece pack quantity is suited for contractors and service shops that use this size frequently and want to minimize reorder frequency on a high-consumption fastener.

Key Features

• Open end dome head design for standard single-side blind fastening
• Steel body and steel mandrel rated to IFI 114 Grade 30 fastener standard
• Grip range of 0.188 to 0.25 inches accommodates typical light-gauge stack-up
• Tensile strength of 310 pounds and shear strength of 260 pounds
• Phosphate-finished mandrel for consistent installation performance

Compatibility

Designed for use in No. 30 wire gauge drill-size holes with a minimum hole diameter of 0.129 inches and a maximum hole diameter of 0.133 inches. Suitable for light-gauge steel, aluminum, and similar substrates in HVAC, electrical, and general fabrication applications.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a standard or pneumatic blind rivet puller sized for 0.125-inch body diameter rivets. Ensure the hole is drilled to the specified diameter range of 0.129 to 0.133 inches for a proper set. Deburr hole edges before inserting the rivet to avoid premature mandrel break. Always wear eye protection, as the mandrel stem ejects during setting.
