Rivetking. /TIN2LBUNP Flat Steel Tinners Solid Rivet

Product Description

The RIVETKING. /TIN2LBUNP is a flat head tinners solid rivet designed for sheet metal fastening applications. Built from steel, this rivet features a 0.146-inch body diameter and a 0.276-inch length under head, making it suited for light-gauge metal joining tasks common in HVAC ductwork, roofing, and general sheet metal fabrication. Tinners solid rivets are driven with a rivet set and bucking bar, forming a permanent mechanical fastener without the need for a blind rivet tool. Sheet metal workers and HVAC technicians are the primary installers of this hardware.

This rivet is used in residential and commercial sheet metal applications, including duct assembly, flashing, and metal panel joining. Its flat head profile sits flush or near-flush against the material surface, which is preferred where clearance is limited or a low-profile fastener is needed. Sold individually, this rivet is appropriate for repair work, small fabrication runs, or situations where a specific quantity is needed without a bulk commitment.

Key Features

• 0.146-inch body diameter for standard light-gauge sheet metal use
• 0.276-inch length under head for typical single-layer or thin stack material thicknesses
• Flat head type provides a low-profile seating surface
• Steel construction for strength and durability in sheet metal fastening
• Tinners solid rivet design requires driving and bucking for permanent installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solid rivet for general sheet metal and ductwork fastening applications where a 0.146-inch body diameter flat head tinners rivet is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by sheet metal workers or HVAC technicians using a rivet set and bucking bar. Ensure the rivet shank passes fully through pre-drilled or punched holes in the mating materials before driving. Do not install rivets in materials that exceed the effective grip range for this length under head. Follow applicable SMACNA guidelines and local mechanical codes when using solid rivets in duct and sheet metal assemblies.
