Value Collection KP7905-1 Blind Rivet Size 53 Stainless Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION KP7905-1 is an open end blind rivet designed for permanent fastening in applications where only one side of the workpiece is accessible. The rivet features a dome head profile with a stainless steel body and stainless steel mandrel, delivering corrosion resistance suited to outdoor, marine, and wet-environment installations. The body diameter is 5/32 inches (0.1562 inches), with a head diameter of 0.312 inches and a head height of 0.045 inches. Tensile strength is rated at 1,040 pounds and shear strength at 785 pounds. Each package contains 100 rivets. This size is commonly installed by sheet metal workers, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electrical contractors during panel assembly and enclosure fabrication.

This rivet is used across a broad range of light to medium-duty structural and non-structural fastening tasks in residential and commercial construction, HVAC ductwork and equipment enclosures, electrical panels, plumbing fixtures, and general sheet metal fabrication. The stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for applications requiring resistance to corrosion, including coastal environments and installations exposed to moisture. The size 53 designation and IFI 114 Grade 51 standard classification make this a well-documented fastener for tradespeople specifying to code or manufacturer requirements.

Compatibility

Designed for use in applications requiring a 5/32-inch body diameter blind rivet with a grip range of 0.126 to 0.187 inches and a hole diameter of 0.160 to 0.164 inches; drill size No. 20 is the recommended pilot hole size for this fastener.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a standard hand or pneumatic blind rivet tool sized for 5/32-inch rivets. Drill the pilot hole to the specified diameter range of 0.160 to 0.164 inches before inserting the rivet body. Verify that total material stack-up falls within the 0.126 to 0.187 inch grip range before setting the rivet. Discard the spent mandrel stem after setting and inspect the formed head on the blind side for full seating.
