Rivetking TIN3LB Flat Steel Tinners Solid Rivet

Product Description

The RIVETKING TIN3LB is a flat-head tinners solid rivet made from steel, designed for sheet metal fastening applications common in HVAC ductwork, roofing, and light fabrication. With a body diameter of 0.163 inches and a length under head of 0.323 inches, this rivet is suited for thin-gauge material joints where a flush, low-profile head is required. Installation is permanent, making it a reliable choice where vibration or mechanical stress could loosen threaded fasteners. Trade professionals select this rivet type for its consistent seating and straightforward driven installation.

This tinners solid rivet is used in sheet metal assembly, HVAC duct fabrication, gutter installation, and general light-gauge metalwork. The flat head profile sits flush against the workpiece surface, which is important in applications where clearance is limited or where overlapping material layers must lie flat. It is appropriate for residential and light commercial projects handled by HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, and plumbers working with metal components.

Key Features

• Flat head design provides a low-profile, flush finish on sheet metal surfaces
• Body diameter of 0.163 inches suits standard thin-gauge sheet metal holes
• Length under head of 0.323 inches accommodates typical single or double layer material joints
• Steel construction offers solid shear strength for permanent fastening
• Tinners rivet style is compatible with standard rivet sets and hammers used in sheet metal trade work

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use tinners solid rivet for flat-head applications in sheet metal, HVAC ductwork, and light fabrication assemblies requiring a 0.163 inch body diameter fastener.

Installation Notes

Installation of solid rivets requires a rivet set, backing hammer or bucking bar, and a properly sized pilot hole to match the 0.163 inch body diameter. Always de-energize any electrical components and shut off airflow before fastening ductwork or sheet metal panels. Solid rivets are permanent fasteners and cannot be removed without drilling out. Follow applicable sheet metal fabrication standards and local mechanical codes when assembling HVAC duct systems.
