Rivetking TIN8OZ Flat Steel Tinners Solid Rivet

Product Description

The RIVETKING TIN8OZ is a flat-head tinners solid rivet manufactured from steel. Tinners rivets are a traditional fastener style used in sheet metal fabrication and light metalwork, driven with a hammer and set tool to form a permanent mechanical joint. The TIN8OZ features a body diameter of 0.091 inches and a length under head of 0.166 inches, placing it in the small-fastener range suited for thin-gauge sheet metal assembly. Licensed sheet metal workers and HVAC fabricators are the primary installers of this fastener type in trade settings.

This rivet is well suited for light-duty sheet metal joining tasks common in HVAC ductwork fabrication, flashing work, and general tinsmithing applications. The flat head profile seats flush against sheet metal surfaces, making it appropriate where a low-profile fastener head is required. It is typically installed in a bench or field setting during duct assembly or custom fabrication work.

Key Features

• Body diameter of 0.091 inches for light-gauge sheet metal applications
• Length under head of 0.166 inches for thin-material stack-up
• Steel construction provides reliable mechanical strength for permanent joints
• Flat head profile seats flush against the workpiece surface
• Solid rivet design creates a permanent, vibration-resistant fastener joint

Compatibility

Designed as a standard tinners solid rivet for use in light-gauge sheet metal fabrication and general sheet metal joining applications.

Installation Notes

Tinners solid rivets are installed by licensed sheet metal workers or HVAC fabricators using a backing tool and a ball-peen or rivet hammer. Ensure the workpiece is securely clamped before driving to prevent material distortion. The rivet shank must be fully seated in the pre-drilled or punched hole before heading. Follow applicable SMACNA guidelines or local codes for structural sheet metal fastener spacing.
