Value Collection C650742 Blind Rivet Size 86 Ss 25 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C650742 is an open end blind rivet with a dome head, stainless steel body, and stainless steel mandrel. Designed for single-side fastening applications where access to the back of the joint is not possible, this rivet is installed with a standard blind rivet tool. The 1/4-inch body diameter and 1/2-inch head diameter make it well suited for medium-duty structural and sheet metal work. With a tensile strength of 2,100 pounds and a shear strength of 1,700 pounds, it delivers reliable holding power in demanding conditions. Sold in a package of 25 rivets.

This rivet is commonly used in HVAC ductwork fabrication, electrical enclosure assembly, sheet metal panel attachment, and light structural applications. The all-stainless steel construction — both body and mandrel — provides corrosion resistance in wet, coastal, or chemically active environments. The bright finish aids inspection after installation. It is appropriate for residential and commercial trade work wherever a permanent, corrosion-resistant blind fastener is needed.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by sheet metal workers, HVAC technicians, electricians, and general trade professionals using a standard hand or pneumatic blind rivet tool sized for 1/4-inch rivets. Drill the appropriate hole to the specified diameter range of 0.257 to 0.261 inches before setting the rivet. Ensure all surfaces are properly aligned and clamped before pulling the mandrel. Dispose of the spent mandrel stem after installation.
