Rivetking. SBS54/P500 Open End Blind Rivet Size 54 500 Pack

Product Description

The RIVETKING. SBS54/P500 is a Size 54 open end blind rivet with a dome head, steel body, and steel mandrel, sold in a 500-piece package. The body diameter is 5/32 inches (0.1563 inches) and the head diameter is 0.312 inches. Grip range runs from 0.188 inches to 0.250 inches, making it suitable for fastening light to medium gauge material in a single-side access installation. The mandrel carries a phosphate finish. Rated at 470 pounds tensile strength and 370 pounds shear strength, this rivet meets IFI 114 Grade 30 standards. It is installed with a standard blind rivet tool by HVAC, sheet metal, electrical, and general trade technicians.

This rivet is used in applications where only one side of the workpiece is accessible. Typical uses include ductwork fabrication, electrical enclosure assembly, sheet metal joining, and light structural panel work. The open end design allows the mandrel to break flush or slightly below the head on installation, forming a reliable mechanical clinch on the blind side. The 500-piece pack quantity suits production line work or high-volume field service where minimizing restocking interruptions matters.

Installation Notes

Install with a hand-operated or pneumatic blind rivet tool sized for 5/32-inch body diameter rivets. Drill the pilot hole to between 0.160 and 0.164 inches for proper fit and full clinch formation. Ensure material stack thickness falls within the 0.188 to 0.250 inch grip range before selecting this rivet for the application. Inspect the set head and blind-side clinch after each pull to confirm full mandrel break and seating.
