1/4" X 3/8" X1/2" Aluminum Rivets

Overview

The 1/4" x 3/8" x 1/2" Aluminum Rivets (53944) are designed for blind fastening applications where joint access is limited to one side of the workpiece.

Technical Features

• Tubular blind rivet construction with mandrel through center — allows the rivet to be set entirely from one side of the workpiece, eliminating the need for rear access during installation.
• Aluminum body — provides a lightweight fastening solution suitable for applications where weight reduction is a consideration.
• Mandrel-actuated expansion — when drawn by a rivet tool, the blind end expands to clamp material securely before the mandrel snaps off at a consistent breakpoint, ensuring repeatable installation results.
• 1/4" diameter shank — fits a standard drilled pilot hole, compatible with common rivet installation tools designed for this fastener size.
• 3/8" x 1/2" grip range — accommodates specific material stack thicknesses, ensuring proper blind-end flare and secure joint formation within the rated grip range.

Applications

• Joining panels, brackets, or assemblies where only one side of the joint is accessible during installation.
• Sheet metal fabrication, HVAC ductwork, and light structural assembly where aluminum fasteners are preferred.
• General construction and manufacturing applications requiring a fast, tool-driven permanent fastening method without threading or welding.
• Repair and assembly tasks in automotive, signage, and enclosure manufacturing where blind access is the primary constraint.
