Value Collection 34206 Blind Rivet Size 88 Dome Head Aluminum 25pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 34206 is a structural blind rivet with a locking stem design, sold in a pack of 25. It features a dome head profile, an aluminum body, and an aluminum mandrel. The 1/4-inch body diameter and 0.53-inch head diameter make this rivet suited for applications requiring a clean, low-profile head. With a tensile strength of 950 pounds and a shear strength of 1,300 pounds, the 34206 provides a mechanically secure fastening solution. The locking stem retains inside the rivet body after installation, adding resistance to vibration loosening. Installed with a standard blind rivet tool, it is used by sheet metal workers, HVAC fabricators, and general maintenance tradespeople.

This rivet is used in structural and semi-structural fastening applications where access to only one side of the workpiece is available. Typical scenarios include HVAC ductwork assembly, equipment panels, electrical enclosures, and light structural fabrication. The grip range of 0.08 to 0.625 inches accommodates a range of material stack thicknesses, making the 34206 flexible across thin-sheet and multi-layer assemblies. The bright finish aluminum construction suits both indoor and light-duty outdoor applications where corrosion exposure is minimal.

• Dome head profile with 0.53-inch head diameter and 0.12-inch head height for a low-profile bearing surface
• Aluminum body and aluminum mandrel with a bright finish for lightweight, corrosion-resistant performance
• Packaged in quantities of 25 to support jobsite and shop use

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard blind rivet installation tools that accept a 1/4-inch body diameter rivet. Drill size G (0.261 to 0.272-inch hole diameter) is required for proper installation. Compatible with aluminum, steel, and other sheet materials within the specified grip range.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a hand, pneumatic, or hydraulic blind rivet tool sized for a 1/4-inch rivet body. Drill the workpiece to the specified hole diameter range of 0.261 to 0.272 inches using a size G drill bit before setting. Ensure material stack thickness falls within the 0.08 to 0.625-inch grip range for a proper set. The locking stem is retained inside the rivet body after pulling; inspect the set head to confirm full mandrel lock before applying load.
