Value Collection 34174 Open End Blind Rivet Size 45 100 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 34174 is an open end blind rivet with a dome head, aluminum body, and aluminum mandrel, designed for fast one-side fastening in sheet metal, HVAC ductwork, enclosures, and light structural assemblies. The body diameter measures 0.125 inches and accepts a hole diameter ranging from 0.129 to 0.133 inches. Grip range runs from 0.251 to 0.312 inches, making this rivet suited for securing material stacks within that thickness window. Tensile strength is rated at 150 pounds and shear strength at 120 pounds. The 5052 aluminum alloy body with a bright finish resists corrosion in typical indoor and light outdoor applications. Sold in a package of 100.

This rivet is used across HVAC sheet metal fabrication, electrical enclosure assembly, plumbing fixture mounting, and general light-gauge metal joining tasks. The open end design allows the mandrel stem to pass through the set rivet, which is standard for most blind fastening applications where access is limited to one side of the workpiece. The 1/4-inch dome head provides a low-profile bearing surface suitable for thin sheet material. Installation requires a standard pull-type rivet tool compatible with 1/8-inch body diameter rivets.

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard pull-type rivet tools accepting 1/8-inch body diameter blind rivets. Requires a number 30 drill size (0.129 to 0.133-inch hole diameter) in the mating material. Suitable for aluminum, sheet metal, and similar light-gauge substrates common in HVAC, electrical, and plumbing assembly work.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed using a hand or pneumatic pull-type rivet tool sized for 1/8-inch body diameter rivets. Drill the mating hole using a number 30 drill bit and deburr before inserting the rivet body. Ensure material stack thickness falls within the 0.251 to 0.312-inch grip range before setting to achieve full clamp load. Inspect the set head and flush mandrel break after installation to confirm proper seating.
