Value Collection C650744 Blind Rivet Size 88 Ss 25 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C650744 is an open end blind rivet with a dome head, stainless steel body, and stainless steel mandrel. It carries a size 88 designation and is designed for installations where access is limited to one side of the workpiece. The body diameter measures 0.25 inches, the head diameter is 0.5 inches, and the length under the head is 0.75 inches. Grip range runs from 0.376 to 0.5 inches, making it suited for fastening material stacks within that thickness. Tensile strength is rated at 2100 pounds and shear strength at 1700 pounds. Licensed trades and fabricators working with stainless assemblies will find this rivet appropriate for corrosion-resistant connections in demanding environments.

This rivet is used in applications requiring a corrosion-resistant fastener, including HVAC enclosures, sheet metal fabrication, marine hardware, food-service equipment, and other assemblies where stainless steel is specified. The dome head provides a low-profile finished appearance on the accessible face. Installation requires a standard blind rivet tool sized for a 0.257 to 0.261 inch hole, with a letter F drill bit called out for hole preparation. Sold in a pack of 25 pieces per package with a minimum order quantity of 1 package.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by sheet metal workers, HVAC technicians, or general fabricators using a hand or pneumatic blind rivet tool rated for the appropriate body diameter. Drill the hole to the specified 0.257 to 0.261 inch range before insertion. Ensure the workpiece materials are clamped or held securely within the 0.376 to 0.5 inch grip range before pulling the mandrel. Do not exceed the rated grip range, as under- or over-thickness material stacks can result in incomplete rivet set or reduced joint strength.
