The closed end design prevents liquids, moisture, air, and other contaminants from moving through the riveted hole and/or the rivet itself. As these RivetKing® rivets are all aluminum, they offer good natural corrosion resistance. (For a rivet requiring higher performance demands, see the ABS-CE series.) These ABA-CE blind rivets are considered a light duty rivet that requires a fixed hole size. The body and mandrel are aluminum. The head has the standard dome shape. The body diameters are typically available in three sizes: 1/8”, 5/32”, and 3/16”. The 3/32” and 1/4” diameters are available upon request with a higher minimum order quantity.

Grooved Rivets™
RivetKing® Grooved Rivets™ are light-duty blind rivets and are designed to be installed within a hole made of a fibered material such as wood or some low-to-medium density plastics. When set properly, the annular rings of the grooved rivet will bite into the wood or plastic and will radially expand within the hole. Keep in mind, this rivet is designed to expand within a hole and not at the rear side like most blind rivets. Only one fibered material is necessary as long as it is the final substrate. Other materials can be fastened to wood products if the other material is between the head and the wood. The rivet has an aluminum body with a steel, trivalent zinc plated mandrel. The Grooved Rivet™ is available in body diameter 1/8”, and material grip range .039″ to .236″. Also available in body diameter 5/32” and 3/16”, in multiple grip ranges.
