Rivetking. /TIN6LBUNP Flat Tinners Solid Rivet Steel

Product Description

The RIVETKING. /TIN6LBUNP is a flat-head tinners solid rivet made from steel, designed for sheet metal joining and ductwork fabrication applications common in HVAC and general sheet metal trades. With a body diameter of 0.206 inches and a length under head of 0.401 inches, this rivet provides a compact, low-profile fastening solution. The flat head sits flush or near-flush against the workpiece surface, distributing load evenly across thin sheet metal panels. It is installed using standard rivet sets and a backing hammer or rivet gun, making it a straightforward fastener for journeymen sheet metal workers and HVAC installers alike.

This rivet is suited for light-duty sheet metal assembly, including HVAC duct fabrication, flashing, roofing trim, and general tinsmithing work. Its solid construction allows it to be bucked or set in place using hand tools or pneumatic rivet hammers. The small form factor makes it appropriate for tight-clearance assemblies where space around the fastener is limited. It ships and sells as a single unit (Pkg Qty 1), making it available for low-quantity procurement or sample evaluation.

Key Features

• Body diameter of 0.206 inches suits standard sheet metal rivet hole patterns
• Length under head of 0.401 inches accommodates typical light-gauge sheet metal stack-ups
• Flat head profile reduces protrusion above the workpiece surface
• Steel construction provides reliable shear and tensile strength for sheet metal joints
• Solid rivet design allows bucking for permanent, vibration-resistant fastening

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fastener for light-gauge sheet metal assemblies, ductwork fabrication, and tinsmithing applications requiring a flat-head solid rivet with a 0.206-inch body diameter.

Installation Notes

Sheet metal workers and HVAC technicians install tinners solid rivets using a rivet set, backing bar, and hammer or pneumatic rivet hammer. Ensure the mating hole is properly sized to match the 0.206-inch body diameter before driving the rivet. Always wear appropriate eye protection when setting solid rivets. Follow applicable local codes and manufacturer guidelines for structural sheet metal fastening requirements.
