Value Collection 324991 Brazier Aluminum Solid Rivet 500pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 324991 is a brazier head aluminum solid rivet designed for permanent mechanical fastening in sheet metal, fabrication, and general assembly applications. With a 1/4 inch body diameter and 3/8 inch length under head, this rivet is well suited for joining thin to medium gauge materials where a low-profile, wide-bearing head is needed. The brazier head style distributes clamping load across a broader surface area than a standard flat head, reducing pull-through risk in softer substrates. Aluminum construction keeps weight low and provides adequate corrosion resistance for most indoor and light outdoor environments. This package contains 500 rivets, making it practical for production or job-site use.

Brazier head solid rivets are commonly used in sheet metal ductwork, HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosures, and light structural assemblies. They are installed by hand or pneumatic rivet sets and require access to both sides of the workpiece for bucking. This makes them a standard choice in fabrication shops, assembly lines, and field repair work where a permanent, vibration-resistant fastener is required. Aluminum is the material of choice when weight savings or galvanic compatibility with aluminum base materials is a priority.

Key Features

• Brazier head profile provides wide bearing surface to reduce pull-through in thin materials
• 1/4 inch body diameter suits standard rivet holes in sheet metal and fabricated panels
• 3/8 inch length under head accommodates typical thin-to-medium gauge material stacks
• Aluminum construction offers low weight and general corrosion resistance
• 500-piece pack quantity supports production runs and bulk job-site use
• UNSPSC Code 31162211 for streamlined procurement classification

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solid rivet replacement for general fastening applications requiring a 1/4 inch diameter brazier head aluminum rivet with 3/8 inch grip length.

Installation Notes

Solid rivets require access to both sides of the joint: a rivet set on the head side and a bucking bar on the shank side. A licensed sheet metal worker or fabricator typically installs solid rivets using a pneumatic rivet gun or hand rivet set. Always drill or punch the hole to the correct clearance diameter before installation and deburr hole edges to ensure full shank engagement. Power down any associated equipment and follow applicable safety standards before beginning fastener work on energized panels or assemblies.
