Value Collection KP7918-1 Blind Rivet Size 42 Ss 100-pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION KP7918-1 is an open end blind rivet with a large flange dome head, designed for blind-side fastening applications where access is limited to one side of the workpiece. The body and mandrel are both stainless steel, providing corrosion resistance in wet, marine, or chemically exposed environments. With a 3/8-inch head diameter, 1/8-inch body diameter, and a grip range of 0.032 to 0.125 inches, this rivet suits thin-material stacking in light fabrication, HVAC sheet metal, electrical enclosures, and plumbing fixture assembly. The large flange head distributes clamping load over a wider surface area, reducing pull-through risk in softer or thinner base materials. Sold in packs of 100.

This rivet is suited for residential and light commercial applications where corrosion resistance is a priority. Common install scenarios include HVAC duct fabrication, electrical panel and junction box assembly, pool equipment enclosures, and general sheet metal work. The 0.032 to 0.125-inch grip range accommodates thin single-layer sheet metal and light stacked assemblies. A number 30 drill bit is the specified pilot hole size, with an acceptable hole diameter range of 0.129 to 0.133 inches. The bright stainless finish makes it appropriate for visible or exposed installations.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a standard or pneumatic blind rivet tool sized for 1/8-inch body diameter rivets. Drill the pilot hole using a number 30 bit and deburr before insertion to ensure full mandrel pull and proper flange seating. Disconnect power to any electrical enclosure or panel before fastening. Follow applicable sheet metal fabrication codes and manufacturer assembly guidelines for the host system.
