Key Features

• OE Fit and Function: Manufactured by AUVECO, a trusted name in fasteners for over a century, this rivet meets original equipment specifications for dependable performance.
• Load Spreading Design: The peel-type mechanism creates a large blind-side footprint, distributing clamping loads over a wide area to prevent pull-through or cracking, particularly in soft or brittle materials.
• Durable Construction: Featuring a black steel rivet body and a robust steel mandrel, it offers strong and lasting securement for critical repairs and assemblies.
• Blind Installation Capability: Ideal for applications with limited backside access, allowing for efficient and precise fastening from one side of the material.
• Oversized Hole Tolerance: This 3/16 inch diameter rivet can effectively fill oversized holes up to 1/4 inch, maintaining a tight hold without the need for backup washers in many cases.
• Vibration Resistance: Once installed, the rivet forms a permanent joint that resists loosening, crucial for components subject to movement and vibration.

Applications
