Value Collection 34148 Open End Blind Rivet Size 56 100 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 34148 is an open end blind rivet with a dome head, designed for one-sided fastening applications where access to the back of the workpiece is limited or impossible. The body and mandrel are both constructed from steel with a phosphate finish on the mandrel for corrosion resistance. With a body diameter of 5/32 inches and a grip range of 0.251 to 0.375 inches, this rivet is suited for joining thin-to-medium gauge materials in metal fabrication, HVAC ductwork assembly, electrical enclosures, and general sheet metal work. Installation is performed using a standard blind rivet tool and requires no rear access. This listing includes 100 rivets per package.

This rivet is commonly used in residential and light commercial construction, HVAC duct fabrication, electrical panel and enclosure assembly, and general industrial sheet metal applications. The dome head profile provides a low-profile finished appearance on the visible face of the joint. The open end design allows the mandrel to break cleanly at the set point, producing a reliable mechanical connection. Technicians and fabricators working with steel substrates will find this rivet compatible with standard rivet installation workflows using a hand or pneumatic rivet tool.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by sheet metal workers, HVAC technicians, electricians, and general fabricators using a hand-operated or pneumatic blind rivet tool rated for the appropriate mandrel diameter. Ensure the mating hole diameter falls within the 0.160 to 0.164-inch range before setting the rivet. Inspect the set head on the blind side when possible to confirm full mandrel break and proper clinch. Follow applicable codes and manufacturer torque guidelines for structural or load-bearing assemblies.
