Value Collection -31986-1/2 Solid Rivet 3/16 in 250 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION -31986-1/2 is a brazier head solid rivet made from aluminum, designed for permanent mechanical fastening in light-duty structural and sheet metal assemblies. With a 3/16 inch body diameter and a 1/2 inch length under the head, this rivet is suitable for applications where a low-profile, wide-bearing head is required. Solid rivets are driven using a rivet set and bucking bar, forming a solid shank that creates a tight, vibration-resistant joint. This package contains 250 rivets, making it a practical shop supply quantity for production work or field repair tasks.

Brazier head solid rivets are commonly used in sheet metal fabrication, HVAC ductwork assembly, equipment enclosures, and general metalworking applications where flush or countersunk heads are not required. The aluminum construction keeps weight low and provides adequate corrosion resistance for indoor and moderate-exposure environments. A licensed sheet metal contractor, HVAC technician, or fabricator would typically install these in production or repair settings using hand or pneumatic rivet driving tools.

Key Features

• Brazier head profile provides a wide bearing surface and low-profile seating on sheet metal
• Aluminum construction offers light weight and corrosion resistance suitable for most indoor applications
• 3/16 inch body diameter is a common standard size compatible with matching rivet sets and hole punches
• 1/2 inch length under head accommodates typical thin sheet metal stack-ups
• 250-piece pack quantity supports production runs and bulk shop stocking
• Solid rivet design creates a permanent, vibration-resistant mechanical joint when properly driven

Compatibility

Designed as a standard solid rivet for use in sheet metal, HVAC ductwork, equipment panels, and general fabrication applications requiring a 3/16 inch diameter brazier head fastener.

Installation Notes

Solid rivets require a rivet set and bucking bar for proper installation; a pneumatic rivet hammer is recommended for production volume work. Drill or punch the mating hole to the correct clearance diameter for a 3/16 inch rivet before driving. Ensure all mating surfaces are clean and properly aligned before setting the rivet, as solid rivets form a permanent joint that cannot be removed without drilling out. Follow applicable sheet metal fabrication standards and SMACNA guidelines where relevant.
