Value Collection 34188 Blind Rivet Size 64 Dome Head Stainless

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 34188 is a structural blind rivet with a locking stem, designed for high-strength fastening in applications where access is limited to one side of the workpiece. The body and mandrel are both stainless steel, providing corrosion resistance in demanding environments. The dome head profile measures 0.385 inches in diameter and 0.085 inches in height. The rivet body diameter is 0.1875 inches (3/16 inches), with a grip range of 0.062 to 0.27 inches. Tensile strength is rated at 1,100 pounds and shear strength at 1,400 pounds, making this rivet suitable for structural load-bearing connections. Sold in a package of 25.

This rivet is used across a range of trade and industrial applications including HVAC equipment assembly, sheet metal fabrication, electrical enclosure mounting, and general structural fastening where a flush or low-profile dome head is required. The locking stem design retains the mandrel inside the rivet body after installation, maintaining the full structural integrity of the joint. Appropriate for use in stainless-compatible substrates where corrosion resistance is a priority, such as outdoor enclosures, marine-adjacent environments, or chemical-exposure areas.

Key Features

• Stainless steel body and stainless steel mandrel for corrosion resistance
• Locking stem retains mandrel after installation, preserving structural strength
• Dome head with 0.385-inch head diameter and 0.085-inch head height
• Grip range of 0.062 to 0.27 inches accommodates variable material stack thicknesses
• 1,100-pound tensile strength and 1,400-pound shear strength for structural-grade fastening
• Bright finish; requires a No. 11 wire gauge drill size for hole preparation

Compatibility

Designed as a standard structural blind rivet replacement for applications requiring a 3/16-inch body diameter rivet with dome head and locking stem in stainless steel construction.

Installation Notes

Install using a standard blind rivet tool rated for structural rivets; confirm the tool mandrel jaw is compatible with the stem diameter before use. Drill the mating hole to the required diameter range of 0.191 to 0.201 inches using a No. 11 wire gauge drill bit. Power down any equipment or de-energize any enclosure before fastening components in electrical or HVAC assemblies. Avoid over-drilling the hole, as fit tolerance directly affects the load ratings of the installed rivet.
