Value Collection KP66080 Open End Blind Rivet Size 43 250 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION KP66080 is a Size 43 open end blind rivet with a dome head, designed for fastening applications where access is limited to one side of the workpiece. The body is 0.125 inches in diameter and constructed from steel, while the mandrel is also steel with a phosphate finish. This rivet accommodates a grip range of 0.126 to 0.187 inches and requires a hole diameter of 0.129 to 0.133 inches. It delivers a tensile strength of 310 pounds and a shear strength of 260 pounds, making it a reliable choice for structural and non-structural sheet metal, HVAC ductwork, electrical enclosures, and general trade fabrication work.

This rivet is used across a wide range of residential and commercial applications wherever blind-side fastening is required. Common install scenarios include sheet metal assembly, HVAC equipment panels, electrical junction boxes, plumbing support brackets, and light structural joining. The 250-count package suits service van stock and moderate production use. Installation is handled by sheet metal fabricators, HVAC technicians, electricians, and general tradespeople using a standard rivet tool matched to the 0.125-inch body diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a hand or pneumatic rivet tool sized for a 0.125-inch body diameter rivet. Drill the pilot hole to between 0.129 and 0.133 inches using a No. 30 drill bit before setting the rivet. Ensure material thickness falls within the 0.126 to 0.187-inch grip range for a proper set. Follow applicable codes and manufacturer guidelines for fastener spacing and load requirements in structural applications.
