Value Collection -31986-3/8 Aluminum Solid Rivet 250 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION -31986-3/8 is a brazier head aluminum solid rivet designed for permanent mechanical fastening applications. The rivet features a 3/16 inch body diameter and a 3/8 inch length under the head. Solid rivets are set by deforming the tail end with a hammer or rivet set tool, creating a strong, vibration-resistant joint. Aluminum construction keeps weight low and provides natural corrosion resistance, making these rivets suitable for sheet metal, aircraft-style assemblies, and general fabrication work. Each package contains 250 rivets.

These solid rivets are used across a range of light industrial, HVAC sheet metal, electrical enclosure, and general fabrication applications where a permanent, flush-profile fastener is required. The brazier head style offers a low, wide dome profile that distributes clamping load across a broader bearing surface compared to a standard round head, making it well suited for softer or thinner base materials. Sold in a 250-piece package, this quantity suits both shop inventory and field service kits.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose solid rivet compatible with standard 3/16 inch rivet holes in aluminum, steel, and similar sheet materials used in light fabrication, HVAC ductwork, and enclosure assembly.

Installation Notes

Solid rivets are typically installed by a sheet metal worker, HVAC technician, or fabricator using a rivet hammer, bucking bar, and rivet set sized for the 3/16 inch shank. Ensure the mating hole is drilled cleanly and deburred before insertion to achieve full shank contact. Always wear appropriate eye protection when setting solid rivets, as material displacement can produce metal fragments. Follow applicable shop safety and fabrication standards for the specific assembly.
