Value Collection 34112 Open End Blind Rivet Size 42 100 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 34112 is an open end blind rivet with a dome head, designed for one-sided fastening applications where the back of the workpiece is inaccessible. The steel body pairs with a phosphate-finish steel mandrel, giving this rivet solid tensile and shear strength for general industrial and construction use. At size code 42, it features a 1/4-inch head diameter, a 1/8-inch body diameter, and accepts a grip range of 0.063 to 0.125 inches, making it suited for thin-to-medium material stacks. Licensed tradespeople and assembly technicians install this rivet using a standard blind rivet pull tool. This package contains 100 rivets.

This rivet is used in residential and commercial construction, HVAC ductwork, sheet metal fabrication, enclosure assembly, and general mechanical fastening where access is limited to one side of the joint. The 0.129 to 0.133-inch hole diameter requirement means it is compatible with a number 30 wire gauge drill size. It performs well in steel-to-steel and steel-to-sheet applications where a flush, low-profile dome head is acceptable. The phosphate finish on the mandrel provides a baseline level of corrosion resistance suitable for interior or protected installations.

Key Features

• Open end design allows one-sided installation without back access
• Dome head profile provides a low-profile finished appearance
• 310-pound tensile strength and 260-pound shear strength for reliable load capacity
• Steel body and steel mandrel construction for metal-to-metal fastening
• Phosphate finish on mandrel for basic corrosion resistance
• Meets IFI 114 Grade 30 fastener standard

Compatibility

Designed for use with material stacks in the 0.063 to 0.125-inch grip range, requiring a drilled or punched hole of 0.129 to 0.133 inches in diameter, corresponding to a number 30 wire gauge drill bit. Compatible with standard blind rivet pull tools sized for 1/8-inch body diameter rivets.

Installation Notes

Install with a hand-operated or pneumatic blind rivet tool rated for 1/8-inch body diameter rivets. Drill or punch the hole to the specified 0.129 to 0.133-inch diameter before installation to ensure proper mandrel pull and head seating. Confirm material stack thickness falls within the 0.063 to 0.125-inch grip range before selecting this rivet. Discard spent mandrels and inspect the set rivet head for full seating against the workpiece surface.
