Rivetking SBS842CMSETP10 Blind Rivet 8-42 Steel 10 Pack

Product Description

The RIVETKING SBS842CMSETP10 is a flush-on-both-sides blind rivet designed for applications where a smooth, low-profile finish is required on both the accessible and blind sides of the joint. Sized at 8-42, this rivet features a dome head with a 5/8 inch head diameter and a 1/4 inch body diameter. It accommodates a grip range of 2-3/8 to 2-5/8 inches, making it suitable for joining thicker material stacks. Both the body and mandrel are constructed of steel, providing solid holding strength in structural and general fabrication work. This package contains 10 rivets.

This rivet is used in sheet metal fabrication, HVAC ductwork assembly, equipment enclosures, and similar trade applications where surface flush is a functional requirement on both sides of the panel. The flush-on-both-sides design prevents interference with mating surfaces, sliding components, or finished panels. It is installed by licensed sheet metal workers, fabricators, and field technicians using a standard blind rivet tool or pneumatic rivet gun sized for 1/4 inch body diameter rivets.

Installation Notes

Install using a blind rivet tool or pneumatic rivet gun rated for 1/4 inch body diameter rivets. Ensure the mating hole diameter is at least 0.255 inches before driving the rivet. Verify total material thickness falls within the 2-3/8 to 2-5/8 inch grip range prior to installation to ensure proper mandrel break and flush seating on both sides. Follow applicable fabrication codes and safety procedures when working with sheet metal or structural assemblies.
