Rivetking TIN12OZ Flat Steel Tinners Solid Rivet

Product Description

The RIVETKING TIN12OZ is a flat-head tinners solid rivet made from steel, designed for sheet metal joining applications common in HVAC ductwork, roofing, and light fabrication. With a body diameter of 0.107 inches and a length under head of 0.198 inches, this rivet is sized for thin-gauge sheet metal work where a low-profile flat head is required. Installation is permanent and does not require a blind-side tool, making it a standard choice for tin shop and sheet metal trade work.

This rivet is used in residential and commercial sheet metal applications, including HVAC duct assembly, flashing, gutters, and general tinsmithing. The flat head sits flush or nearly flush against the workpiece surface, which is preferred in applications where clearance or airflow paths must not be obstructed. Sheet metal mechanics and HVAC installers working with hand sets or rivet sets and backing hammers will find this a straightforward, traditional fastener for lap joints and seams.

Key Features

• Body diameter of 0.107 inches suits standard thin-gauge sheet metal applications
• Length under head of 0.198 inches for shallow material stacks
• Flat head profile keeps the fastened surface low-profile
• Steel construction provides reliable holding strength in tin and sheet metal work
• Solid rivet design creates a permanent, vibration-resistant mechanical joint

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solid rivet for sheet metal and tinsmithing applications requiring a flat-head, 0.107-inch body diameter fastener.

Installation Notes

Solid tinners rivets are installed by licensed sheet metal mechanics or HVAC technicians using a rivet set, backing bar, and hammer or pneumatic rivet hammer. Power down any associated equipment and de-energize duct systems before fastening near electrical components. Ensure hole diameter matches rivet body diameter closely to maintain joint integrity. Follow applicable SMACNA and local mechanical code guidelines for duct assembly fastener spacing.
