Rivetking SBS86/BB/P100 Structural Blind Rivet Size 86

Product Description

The RIVETKING SBS86/BB/P100 is a structural blind rivet with a locking stem design, supplied in a 100-piece package. It features a dome head, a steel body, and a steel mandrel, making it suited for high-strength fastening applications where access is limited to one side of the joint. The body diameter is 0.25 inches and the grip range spans 0.08 to 0.375 inches, allowing installation across a range of material stack thicknesses. The locking stem retains the mandrel after setting, which increases shear and tensile strength beyond that of a standard open-end blind rivet. Size 86 is the industry size code for this body and grip combination.

This rivet is used in structural assembly and repair applications across industrial, commercial, and light construction settings. Typical applications include metal fabrication, equipment enclosures, brackets, frames, and structural panels where a locked mandrel is required for vibration resistance or load-bearing integrity. Installation is performed with a standard or heavy-duty blind rivet tool compatible with 0.257 to 0.261 inch hole diameters. Both the body and mandrel are steel, making this rivet appropriate for ferrous metal assemblies where galvanic compatibility with the base material is a consideration.

• Grip range of 0.08 to 0.375 inches accommodates varying material stack thicknesses
• Steel body and steel mandrel construction for ferrous metal assemblies
• Packaged in a 100-piece quantity, size code 86

Compatibility

Designed for use in applications requiring a structural-grade blind rivet with a 0.25 inch body diameter and a grip range of 0.08 to 0.375 inches, installed into a hole diameter of 0.257 to 0.261 inches.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a heavy-duty blind rivet tool rated for structural locking stem rivets. Drill or punch the hole to the correct diameter of 0.257 to 0.261 inches before setting. Ensure the material stack is within the 0.08 to 0.375 inch grip range to achieve a proper set. Do not attempt to set with a tool not rated for structural rivets, as an incomplete set will compromise joint integrity.
