Stanley PAA68-5B Aluminum Rivets 3/16x1/2 in 50 Pack

Product Description

The STANLEY PAA68-5B is a 50-pack of aluminum blind rivets sized 3/16 inches in diameter by 1/2 inches in length. Aluminum rivets are a standard fastening solution used across HVAC ductwork, sheet metal fabrication, electrical enclosures, and general mechanical assemblies. They install with a standard rivet tool, creating a secure, vibration-resistant joint without requiring access to the back side of the workpiece. At 0.22 pounds per pack, this is a lightweight, portable fastener supply suitable for field service kits and shop stock alike. The all-aluminum construction resists corrosion in moderate environments and is compatible with aluminum and light-gauge sheet metal substrates.

These rivets are suited for residential and light commercial applications where a clean, flush mechanical fastener is required. Common use cases include securing HVAC duct sections, attaching sheet metal flanges, mounting electrical panel components, and general fabrication work. HVAC technicians, sheet metal workers, electricians, and plumbers routinely stock aluminum rivets of this size for routine service calls and new installations. The 50-piece pack format is sized for job-lot use or topping off a field supply.

Key Features

• 3/16 inches diameter by 1/2 inches length — a common standard size for sheet metal and ductwork applications
• Aluminum construction provides corrosion resistance and lightweight handling
• Blind-rivet design installs with one-sided access using a standard rivet gun
• 50-piece pack supports job-lot stocking or field kit replenishment
• Compatible with aluminum and light-gauge sheet metal substrates

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-size aluminum blind rivet for use in sheet metal, HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and general light-gauge mechanical assemblies where a 3/16 inches diameter fastener is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a standard hand or pneumatic rivet tool sized for 3/16 inches rivets. Ensure the mating materials are properly aligned and clamped before setting the rivet. Drill the pilot hole to the correct diameter per the fastener specification to achieve full grip and proper mandrel break. Dispose of spent mandrels safely, as they are ejected under tension during setting.
