Value Collection 34151 Open End Blind Rivet Size 56 100 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 34151 is an open end blind rivet with a dome head, designed for fast one-side installation in sheet metal, fabrication, and light structural assembly applications. The aluminum body pairs with an aluminum mandrel for a corrosion-resistant, lightweight fastener suited to a wide range of general-purpose joining tasks. At a body diameter of 5/32 inches, this Size 56 rivet handles grip ranges from 0.251 to 0.375 inches. Tensile strength is rated at 340 pounds and shear strength at 230 pounds, meeting IFI 114 Grade 11 standards. This package contains 100 rivets, making it a practical bench stock quantity for production or service use.

These rivets are used in residential and light commercial applications wherever a blind fastener is required and access to only one side of the workpiece is available. Typical scenarios include HVAC ductwork fabrication, sheet metal enclosure assembly, electrical panel boxes, and general maintenance repairs. The bright finish aluminum construction makes them suitable for indoor and moderate outdoor environments where galvanic concerns with dissimilar metals are minimal. A drill size of No. 20 is specified for the installation hole.

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by sheet metal workers, HVAC technicians, electricians, or general maintenance trades using a hand, pneumatic, or battery-powered rivet gun. Drill the workpiece to the specified hole diameter before insertion - undersized holes will prevent proper seating and oversized holes will reduce clamp load. Ensure the material stack falls within the 0.251 to 0.375 inch grip range before selecting this rivet; using a rivet outside its rated grip range compromises joint integrity. Wear eye protection during installation to guard against mandrel break-off debris.
