Value Collection 34126 Open End Blind Rivet Size 66 100 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 34126 is an open end blind rivet with a large flange dome head, designed for one-sided fastening applications where access to the back of the workpiece is limited. The aluminum body and aluminum mandrel construction offer a lightweight, corrosion-resistant connection suited for sheet metal, HVAC ductwork panels, signage, and similar light- to medium-gauge assemblies. The rivet carries a tensile strength of 320 pounds and a shear strength of 260 pounds. It is manufactured to IFI 114 Grade 11 standard and uses the 5052 aluminum alloy material grade. Sold in packs of 100, this fastener is a practical choice for contractors and fabricators needing consistent, reliable blind-side fastening in aluminum or compatible substrates.

This rivet suits residential and commercial HVAC duct fabrication, sheet metal enclosure assembly, panel attachment, and general light-structural fastening tasks. The size 66 designation indicates a 3/16-inch body diameter and a grip range of 0.251 to 0.375 inches, making it well matched for joining material stacks within that thickness range. The large flange dome head distributes load across a wider bearing surface, reducing pull-through in softer or thinner base materials. A number 11 wire drill size is the recommended pilot hole for proper installation.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style blind rivet replacement or stock fastener for applications requiring a 3/16-inch body diameter, a grip range of 0.251 to 0.375 inches, and a number 11 wire drill size pilot hole in sheet metal, HVAC ductwork, or panel fabrication assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by sheet metal workers, HVAC technicians, or general fabricators using a standard or pneumatic rivet gun rated for 3/16-inch aluminum rivets. Drill the pilot hole to the recommended number 11 wire size before inserting the rivet body. Ensure the material stack thickness falls within the stated grip range of 0.251 to 0.375 inches to achieve full mandrel break and proper head seating. Follow applicable shop safety practices and any project-specific fastener specifications when selecting and installing blind rivets.
