Value Collection -34131-2 Blind Rivet Size 68 Stainless 100pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION -34131-2 is an open end blind rivet designed for permanent fastening applications where access is limited to one side of the workpiece. Built with a stainless steel body and stainless steel mandrel, this Size 68 rivet delivers a bright finish and resists corrosion in demanding environments. The dome head profile distributes clamp load evenly across the surface. With a tensile strength of 1,300 pounds and a shear strength of 1,150 pounds, it is suited for structural and load-bearing fastening tasks. This package contains 100 rivets.

This rivet is used in light industrial, HVAC ductwork, sheet metal fabrication, equipment enclosures, and general mechanical assembly where one-sided installation is required. The stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for outdoor, marine, or corrosive environments where carbon steel fasteners would degrade. It accepts a standard rivet gun and requires a No. 11 wire gauge drill size for proper hole preparation.

Key Features

• Open end design allows material flow for a secure blind-side clamp
• Stainless steel body and mandrel for corrosion resistance
• Dome head type with 3/8 inch head diameter for broad bearing surface
• Grip range of 0.376 to 0.500 inches to accommodate varying material stack thicknesses
• Tensile strength of 1,300 pounds and shear strength of 1,150 pounds
• Meets IFI 114 Grade 51 fastener standard

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-use blind rivet compatible with manual, pneumatic, and hydraulic rivet tools sized for 3/16 inch body diameter rivets requiring a No. 11 wire gauge pilot hole.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by sheet metal workers, HVAC technicians, and general mechanical trades using a standard blind rivet tool. Before installation, drill the pilot hole to the correct diameter using a No. 11 wire gauge drill bit. Confirm material stack thickness falls within the 0.376 to 0.500 inch grip range before setting the rivet. Do not exceed the rated tensile or shear load in safety-critical structural applications without engineering review.
