Value Collection 34190 Open End Blind Rivet Size 64 100 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 34190 is an open end blind rivet with a dome head, steel body, and steel mandrel, designed for permanent fastening in applications where rear access to the joint is limited or unavailable. The body diameter is 3/16 inches with a grip range of 0.188 to 0.250 inches, making it suited for thin-to-medium material stacks. The 3/8-inch dome head provides a broad bearing surface to distribute clamping load. With a tensile strength of 680 pounds and a shear strength of 540 pounds, this rivet delivers reliable holding power in structural and non-structural assembly work. A phosphate finish on the mandrel provides basic corrosion resistance. Suitable for installation with a standard rivet tool, this fastener is packaged in quantities of 100.

This rivet is commonly used in HVAC ductwork fabrication, sheet metal enclosure assembly, electrical panel construction, and general trade fabrication tasks where a clean dome-head profile is required. The open end design allows the mandrel to pull through and set the rivet in one motion without rear access. Appropriate hole diameter for installation ranges from 0.192 to 0.196 inches, which corresponds to a No. 11 wire drill size. Both residential and commercial fabrication applications are typical use scenarios for this fastener.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard open end blind rivet for use in any application requiring a Size 64 rivet with a 3/16-inch body diameter and a grip range of 0.188 to 0.250 inches, installed through a hole drilled to No. 11 wire size (0.192 to 0.196 inches).

Installation Notes

Installation requires a standard manual or pneumatic rivet tool sized for the appropriate mandrel diameter. Drill the receiving hole to the correct diameter using a No. 11 wire gauge drill bit before setting the rivet. Always wear eye protection during installation, as the mandrel stem ejects at set. Inspect the set rivet head on the accessible side and the expanded tail on the blind side to confirm full engagement before releasing the tool.
