Value Collection C11299 Open End Blind Rivet 100 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C11299 is an open end blind rivet with a dome head profile, designed for one-side fastening applications where access to the back of the work surface is not possible. The body is aluminum alloy grade 5056 with a bright finish, and the mandrel is steel with a phosphate finish. The body diameter is 3/16 inch (0.1875 inches), the head diameter is 3/8 inch, and the length under the head is 0.45 inches. Grip range runs from 0.188 to 0.250 inches. This rivet delivers 500 pounds tensile strength and 380 pounds shear strength. Each package contains 100 rivets.

This rivet is suited for light-to-medium fabrication, HVAC ductwork assembly, sheet metal work, electrical enclosures, and general trade fastening tasks where a flush dome head and blind installation are required. The size 64 designation identifies the body diameter and grip range for quick selection against a fastener chart. Installers working in HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trades will find this rivet appropriate for attaching sheet metal panels, brackets, and junction covers where conventional bolted fastening is not practical.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a hand, pneumatic, or battery-powered blind rivet tool sized for a 3/16 inch mandrel. Drill the receiving hole to between 0.192 and 0.196 inches using a wire gauge number 11 drill bit before setting the rivet. Confirm total material thickness falls within the 0.188 to 0.250 inch grip range before selecting this rivet. The mandrel stem will break off flush or slightly proud upon full setting — inspect the set head to confirm complete flare formation on the blind side where visible.
