The body and mandrel are both aluminum, offering a lightweight, corrosion-resistant connection suitable for sheet metal, HVAC ductwork, panels, and light structural assemblies. This size 68 rivet features a 3\/16-inch body diameter, a 5\/8-inch head diameter, and a grip range of 0.376 to 0.500 inches. Tensile strength is rated at 320 pounds and shear strength at 260 pounds. Each package contains 100 rivets. Installation is performed by sheet metal workers, HVAC technicians, and general fabricators using a standard rivet gun.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis rivet is suited for residential and light commercial applications where aluminum-to-aluminum or aluminum-to-mild-steel fastening is required. Common install scenarios include HVAC duct assembly, enclosure panels, ventilation equipment, and general sheet metal fabrication. The large flange dome head distributes clamping load over a wider surface area, making it appropriate for softer base materials or oversized holes where a standard flange head would not provide adequate bearing surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen end design allows mandrel to be set and broken flush in standard rivet tooling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarge flange dome head provides increased bearing surface for softer or thinner materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAluminum body and aluminum mandrel construction resists corrosion in moderate environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrip range of 0.376 to 0.500 inches accommodates a range of combined material thicknesses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTensile strength of 320 pounds and shear strength of 260 pounds per IFI 114 Grade 11\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright finish; rivet material grade 5052 aluminum alloy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or general-use fastener compatible with standard blind rivet tools accepting 3\/16-inch body diameter rivets.
