Value Collection MBP-R8-M9 Structural Blind Rivet Size 8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MBP-R8-M9 is a Size 8 structural blind rivet designed for high-load fastening applications where only one side of the workpiece is accessible. The steel body and steel mandrel work together to form a strong, locked joint upon installation. With a tensile strength of 2,000 pounds and a shear strength of 2,600 pounds, this rivet is built for demanding structural connections. A zinc-plated finish provides corrosion resistance in typical shop and field conditions. Licensed tradespeople and fabricators in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general metal fabrication rely on structural blind rivets for reliable, one-sided fastening.

This rivet suits residential and commercial applications where structural integrity is required in panel assemblies, ductwork frames, equipment enclosures, brackets, and metal fabrications. The protruding head style seats flush against the material surface for a secure bearing surface. The grip range of 0.326 to 0.425 inches accommodates a range of material stack thicknesses, and the body diameter of 0.250 inches fits hole diameters from 0.261 to 0.272 inches. Sold in a package quantity of 100 rivets per pack.

Installation Notes

Structural blind rivets are installed by tradespeople using a pneumatic or hand-operated rivet tool sized for the body diameter. Drill or punch holes to the correct diameter of 0.261 to 0.272 inches before installing. Always verify that the material stack thickness falls within the specified grip range before setting the rivet. Follow applicable structural fastening standards and consult applicable codes when used in load-bearing assemblies.
