Rivetking. TIN12LB Flat Steel Tinners Solid Rivet

Product Description

The RIVETKING. TIN12LB is a flat-head tinners solid rivet made from steel, designed for permanent mechanical fastening in sheet metal and ductwork applications. With a body diameter of 0.263 inches and a length under head of 0.51 inches, this rivet is sized for light-gauge material assembly. The flat head profile sits flush against the work surface, providing a clean finish without protruding hardware. This rivet is installed using a rivet set and hammer or compatible rivet driving tools, making it a standard hand-trade fastener for HVAC fabricators and sheet metal workers handling duct fabrication, flashing, or tin work.

This tinners rivet is suited for residential and light commercial sheet metal work where a solid, non-hollow rivet is required for a permanent joint. Typical applications include ductwork assembly, metal flashing connections, and general sheet metal fabrication tasks where a flush flat-head fastener is preferred. It is commonly used by HVAC technicians and sheet metal tradespeople during new construction or retrofit duct fabrication.

Key Features

• Flat head profile for a low-profile, flush-mount finish on sheet metal surfaces
• 0.263 inch body diameter suited for standard tinners rivet hole sizing
• 0.51 inch length under head for light-gauge sheet metal fastening
• Steel construction provides reliable mechanical strength for ductwork and flashing applications
• Solid rivet design creates a permanent, non-removable joint

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitment solid rivet for sheet metal and ductwork fabrication applications requiring a flat-head tinners rivet with 0.263 inch body diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation of solid tinners rivets is typically performed by sheet metal workers or HVAC fabricators using a rivet set and ball-peen hammer. Ensure material layers are clamped securely and hole diameter is matched to the rivet body before driving. Follow applicable SMACNA duct construction standards and local mechanical codes for fastener spacing and joint requirements. Do not use impact tools not rated for rivet driving, as this may deform the head or compromise joint integrity.
