Value Collection KP80282 Aluminum Peel Blind Rivet 50 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION KP80282 is a large flange head aluminum peel blind rivet with a steel mandrel, sold in a package of 50. Peel blind rivets expand into multiple petals on installation, distributing clamping force over a wider area than standard blind rivets. This makes them well suited for softer, more fragile base materials where a standard rivet head could pull through. The aluminum body keeps weight low while providing adequate shear strength for sheet metal, plastic panels, and similar assemblies. The large flange head measures 0.75 inches in diameter, offering a broad bearing surface. Grip range runs from 0.09375 inches to 0.140625 inches, covering a narrow material stack typical in light fabrication and maintenance work.

These rivets are used in sheet metal fabrication, HVAC ductwork panels, equipment enclosures, and general maintenance and repair applications where a blind fastener is required and access is limited to one side of the material. The peel design is particularly common in applications involving thin or soft substrates such as plastic, fiberglass, or thin-gauge aluminum sheet. Installation requires a standard hand or pneumatic blind rivet tool sized for 3/32-inch body diameter rivets.

Key Features

• Peel-style expansion distributes load across multiple petals for reduced pull-through in soft materials
• Aluminum body offers corrosion resistance and lightweight performance
• Steel mandrel provides consistent installation pull force
• Large flange head diameter of 0.75 inches increases bearing surface area
• Grip range of 3/32 inches to 9/64 inches suits thin material stacks
• Package of 50 rivets for job-site or shop use

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard blind rivet installation tools accepting 3/32-inch body diameter rivets. Suitable for aluminum sheet, thin-gauge steel, plastic, and fiberglass panel assemblies typical in light fabrication and HVAC equipment enclosure work.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a sheet metal mechanic, HVAC technician, or general maintenance trade using a hand-operated or pneumatic blind rivet tool. Verify the rivet tool nose piece matches the 3/32-inch body diameter before use. Ensure the material stack falls within the stated grip range to achieve full petal expansion and proper clamping. De-energize any electrical assemblies and relieve any system pressure before fastening panels on live equipment.
